With a central role in the heart of the project, the MES integrator must provide a refined methodology that fulfills the key objectives:

• Delivering an intuitive and user-friendly solution: moving on from the man-machine interface, now is the time for user experience through ergonomics and an adapted design which helps support the change by a better appropriation by the users/operators;
• Delivering a solution adapted to the objectives and needs: it is essential to privilege short and collaborative cycles. The incremental integration of packages (or « quick win ») hides the well-known perverse effects of the « big bang » (lack of visibility, little anticipation, requires all the effort and energy of the business actors, costly adaptations, etc.).

• Delivering the best standard solution possible: the maturity and wealth of MES solutions on the market today enable an approach which is more and more « zero specific development ». To this effect, the choice of the solution will be important. But beyond that, the organization of the Design phase will be decisive and will require a real savoir-faire by the Integrator, know-how that will not only lie in in-depth knowledge of the MES solution.
• Delivering a robust and long-lasting solution: administration, exploitation, maintenance and cyber-security are major preoccupations to be taken into account in the project phase

By combining all these conditions, the human and financial cost associated with the integration of an MES solution will remain sustainable without ever compromising the stakes of the project.

Putting the MES solution at the heart of an ambitious industrial project with an « Industry of the future » orientation and with objectives related to « Operational Excellence » gives to the integrator a role similar to that of an orchestra conductor. As project manager, he is engaged above and beyond the implementation of the MES solution by piloting and coordinating the project. Gifted with the necessary technical and functional expertise of the MES solution, he is the ideal coordinator between the different business teams and the IT representatives. He is a source of proposals to accompany the evolution of the business processes, and to bring the business teams together around the standard features of the solution. His global vision of the industrial Information System provides him with the necessary knowledge for the best integration of the MES solution in the Information System by the design of appropriate interfaces.

With his proven methods for running projects, the MES integrator knows how to bring flexibility and professionalism in order to efficiently pilot a project while constantly respecting the 3 founding pillars for integration: the quality of the deliverables – the respect of the planning – the respect of the budgets.

Finally, because an MES project is not limited to the implementation of a software solution of this type, SPC knows how to enrich its integration offer :

• a savoir-faire in terms of converging business processes notably in a multi-site context;
• a savoir-faire in the rationalization and optimization of MBR (Master Batch Records) design;
• IT skills notably connected to the automation layer and equipment connectivity (OPC-UA, IoT, etc.);
• a savoir-faire in accompanying the changes from start to finish;
• an offer of third-party applications maintenance where you will find the competence, responsiveness, ability to listen, and the quality that we bring in the project phase.
