Connect Quality Engineers Your MES also plays an important role in connecting quality engineers with the information and tools they need to expedite the rework planning process. And since all users have access to the same information and can update it in real time, they can collaborate efficiently to identify and handle discrepancies.

Well organized and a lot of information. Digital twins exist not only in discrete manufacturing. Rather than a couple of hours of presentations with maybe one or two interviews like many conferences, we had two days of presentations and 1:1 interviews. Of course, that means Honeywell has been active in product development.

We know we’re one of the best-kept secrets in complex discrete manufacturing. Complex engineering-intensive manufacturing is a large industry, but it is also a relatively small world of people with the knowledge and expertise to make it happen. Let’s admit it. We found that many of you didn’t know such a solution even existed.
