EN Abstract

Design and Implementation of a Cloud-Based Manufacturing Execution System for SMEs

Bu çalışma; küçük ve orta ölçekli işletmelerin (KOBİ) dijital dönüşüm ihtiyaçlarını karşılamak üzere tasarlanmış çok kiracılı, modüler ve mikro hizmet tabanlı bir bulut MES modeli önermektedir. Platform, standart bir web tarayıcısı üzerinden erişilebilen mikroservis tabanlı Hizmet Olarak Yazılım (SaaS) çözümü olarak tasarlanmıştır. Ayrıca, diğer uygulamalarla kolay entegrasyon sağlamak amacıyla RESTful API desteği sunmaktadır. Önerilen sistemin temel katkısı, gerçek zamanlı veri işleme ve ileri analitik yetenekleri sağlama kapasitesidir. Sistem; üretim takibi, duruş ve kalite analizi ile Genel Ekipman Etkinliği (OEE) hesaplamaları gibi temel üretim verilerinin anlık izlenmesini sağlamaktadır. OEE bileşen analizine ek olarak platform; kaynak planlama ve otomasyon süreçlerini desteklemekte, operatör terminallerinde doküman görüntüleme imkanı sunmakta ve kritik üretim olayları için olay tabanlı alarm mekanizmaları sağlamaktadır. Uygulama sonuçları, KOBİ'lerin düşük kurulum maliyeti ve ölçeklenebilir bulut mimarisi sayesinde üretim içgörülerini (örneğin; OEE trendleri, duruş kayıpları) etkin bir şekilde elde edebileceğini ortaya koymaktadır.

KOBİ'ler için Bulut Tabanlı Üretim Yürütme Sisteminin Tasarımı ve Gerçekleştirilmesi

This study proposes a multi-tenant, modular, microservices-based, cloud-based MES system designed to meet the digital transformation needs of small and medium-sized manufacturing enterprises (SMEs). The platform is designed as a microservices-based Software-as-a-Service (SaaS) solution accessible via a standard web browser. The platform provides RESTful API support to facilitate easy integration with other applications. A key contribution of the proposed model is its ability to provide real-time data processing and advanced analytics capability. The system provides instantly monitoring of basic production data such as production tracking, downtime-quality analysis, and Overall Equipment Effectiveness (OEE) calculations. In addition to OEE components analysis, the platform supports resource planning and automation processes, document viewing on operator terminals, and event-based alarms for critical production events. Implementation results demonstrates that SME's can obtain actionable production insights(e.g., OEE trends, downtime loss) with a low deployment effort and scable cloud architecture.
