This is how production at Würth Elektronik is networked – MES as IIoT preliminary stage

The MES provides the data and distributes it so that production can be optimally planned and continuously optimized. Since the topic “MES” affects many manufacturing companies, episode 82 of the IoT Use Case Podcast is a special episode only on this topic. The company “Würth Elektronik” talks about their use cases, challenges and vision towards IoT, together with their partner “Kontron AIS”. Klaus Faller (Würth Elektronik), Robin Schubert and Frank Tannhäuser (Kontron AIS) are the guests of Madeleine Mickeleit. As Europe’s leading PCB manufacturer, Würth Elektronik serves the needs of its customers from the initial design idea to the production of prototypes in the online store and the manufacture of medium and large series. Kontron AIS is Würth’s partner in the field of automation technology. As a systems and software company, Kontron offers solutions in factory and manufacturing automation as well as plant integration and control. The PCB manufacturer creates its digital twin of the PCB through Kontron AIS’ MES – with connectivity of existing and new equipment plus standardization of equipment integration.
