2. Document Delivery and Management

The exact documents are delivered to each operation step to aid the individual in doing their job. CELLS Workflow MES points to the document location so you are assured only the latest revision is delivered automatically.

CELLS Workflow MES has a flexible delivery system to send virtually any type of document from any source to your factory floor. CELLS Workflow MES allows either direct file link or via web browser pages. Also, template type overlays can be added to the current display to show annotations, highlighted areas, etc. Documents can be associaed in multiple ways, for example with the whole unit, a specific part number, or just a single item or component.


Example of overlays and annotations


Hot spot any area of the display or just a single item or component. Specification information is automatically available behind every item or component.


Example of web browser — Deliver a single web page or an entire internal intranet.


Example of web browser — Use all the rich components of the web such as text, graphics, multimedia (movies / audio), email, Java, plugins, etc.

3.Unit History

You may wish to view the history of a unit to see where it's been, what's been done to it, or the defects that have occurred. CELLS Workflow MES provides you an easy way to find that information in an open database environment (ODBC).

4. Task List

If the operation step calls for it, CELLS Workflow MES creates a task list with required items to be completed.

5. Logging Defects

CELLS Workflow MES provides accurate and quick logging of defects. All defect codes specific to each operation are available. Select the type of problem and it is logged automatically.

6. Moving units to the next process step

Moving to the Next Step — Typical options for movement are Pass, Electrical Failure, Mechanical Failure, Scrap, Sub-assembly complete, Send to stock, etc. CELLS Workflow MES routes and tracks the unit accordingly.

7. SPC Reporting

Once CELLS Workflow MES has collected work in progress (WIP), failure/quality or other data, you can create reports against it using standard reports supplied within CELLS Workflow MES or create your own reports using MS Access, MS Excel, SAS, Crystal Reports, etc. (You may use any report writer or analysis tool that supports ODBC.) You can even publish the reports to your CELLS Workflow MES intranet or provide dynamic report generation through CELLS Workflow MES or any web browser.
