Notes from previous ASTICON Session

ASTICON-Session #1: 11th Sept 2020:   
Philippe Allot presented the company ORDINAL and their MES solution ORDINAL COOX. Learnings from this session:
  • COOX is presenting MES as the “heart of the factory” as illustrated above. A very good analogy
  • The products offers all the functions expected in a fullblown MES solution such as Scheduling, OEE, Flexible Recipe Management right down to phase control level.
  • Nicely aligning to ISA-95 and ISA-88 standards.
  • Including a SCADA user interface as well.
  • Modular structure initiated in 2001, now in release 7.x
  • Proved by customers in all segments: Food, steel, automobile, environmental etc.
  • Template-based model for multi-site rollout.
