A simple solution to cut water wastage
Water consumption in domestic and commercial premises can be reduced greatly simply by fitting a Honeywell pressure reducing valve.
Built-in "what-if" capabilities and production performance versus plan measurements allow users to evaluate manufacturing options and report on plant performance to schedule.
Integration of the Taylor Scheduler with POMS MES and CMS will allow schedule changes to be communicated in real time to the plant floor, and will provide the scheduler with instant visibility to order and resource status.
Schedule decisions can be made rapidly, with the confidence that a realistic and optimal solution has been chosen.
POMS MES and CMS then ensure that the schedule is executed promptly and precisely, and that all activities maintain compliance with regulatory requirements.
"The Taylor Scheduler is designed to be integrated with real-time manufacturing management systems like POMS," said Neil Taylor, President and CEO of Taylor Manufacturing Systems.
"The real-time feedback link between the two systems greatly improves the accuracy and performance of both POMS and the Taylor Scheduler, shortening production times and increasing manufacturing flexibility for our customers.
Together, Honeywell and Taylor offer the healthcare, clinical, and CPG industries a manufacturing management and scheduling solution that is second to none.".
