Simio, Sewickley, Pa., partnered with Schneider Electric, a Palatine, Ill., provider of Wonderware MES software,to help customers improve productivity, increase business agility and deepen quality management while reducing the cost of compliance.
“The real-time production data our Wonderware MES software provides is essential for accurate, timely simulation-based scheduling,” says Tom Troy, director, operations and asset portfolio for Schneider Electric. “This has been a challenge with traditional MES offerings. But, our partnership with Simio allows our customers to easily add a real-time scheduling component, using a rules-based engine and deep simulation. It’s an offering unmatched in the market today. To remain competitive, manufacturers need to move beyond command and control and into operations optimization, problem resolution and workforce improvements. This partnership allows them to take that first step, and our customers will be able to rely on Wonderware and Simio offerings to lead the way.”
