JL Company Steel Manufacturing Execution Systems (MES) Construction Research

With the coming of information period and the integrative economy of the whole world, steel enterprises are confronted with more severe competition. To gain advantage in this competition, steel enterprises must strengthen their real-time and high efficient production management along with their development of production agility, continuity and automation. However, the traditional production management theories are mainly about macro-planning, lacking support for the bottom data collection and the direct control of the production process, also the existed information systems are usually short of communication and resource share, which finally leads to the so called phenomena of "Information Island"MES (Manufacturing Execution System) is a management information system for the workshop layer, which lies in the production manufacturing process between; the upper layer of plan-management and the ground floor layer of industrial control. It provides workshop managers with real-time information about the product planning, product tracing resource allocation and so on. It also controls the production process and guarantees the production process in order. MES is a bridge that spans and fills up the gap between the planning systems and direct industrial controls. It is becoming an effective method for the product management and the workshop floor control.This paper introduced the concept of MES and the realization of the basic principle's, based on the application of existing industries, characteristics, trends, The response characteristics of the steel industry and reality JL steel production management company status, JL designed steel companies manufacturing execution system. This paper highlights of the production control system's overall architecture, network support, material structure, data acquisition structure, and System software architecture choices. Detailed production scheduling and project management module, quality management module, materials tracking system module Equipment and Equipment Management Module operating procedures and functions in detail. Finally, the production control system for the desired results detailed forecasts.The special-steel enterprise's MES is very complex and difficulty to develop. This system is built on detailed research, adopts the most advanced management theories ERP and MES, and draws lessons from the successful case of same trade. The system is practical, and it efficiently resolves the enterprise's production problems. Now it is develop stage. The framework is also a reference to the information-based system of the same type enterprises.
