Smart MES 4.0 Process Automation

Industry 4.0 compliant:

AGPC firmly believes in R&D and innovation and is always enthusiastic to adopt the world’s latest technology. All plant processes are connected through Smart Manufacturing Execution System (MES 4.0) that executes, monitors, tracks and reports operations on the plant floor in real-time. Pipe traceability and real-time data such as machine running, standby, stop, overload, malfunction, scrap, waiting, setup, production, maintenance, signals, machine status and sensor measurements are collected by fully automated Smart Devices using artificial intelligence and machine learning. Guaranteed total quality control and traceability throughout all steps of the manufacturing process.

This is Pipe 4.0
