The medical device industry is worldwide highly regulated and fast-paced; thus, manufacturers face mounting pressure to deliver high-quality products on time while complying with strict industry standards. To stay competitive, it’s no longer enough to rely on traditional production methods. Manufacturers need real-time visibility, smarter quality control, and advanced automation.
Epicor MES (Manufacturing Execution System) offers medical device companies a powerful solution to meet these demands. Here’s how this cutting-edge system—when implemented by Data V Tech—can revolutionize your operations.
1. Automated Process Control: Stop Problems Before They Start
With Epicor MES, manufacturers can automatically capture process parameters such as temperature, pressure, and vibration using IoT sensors. By establishing process thresholds, the system sends real-time alerts if anything deviates—allowing teams to take immediate action before defects occur. This reduces scrap, minimizes downtime, and ensures consistent production quality.
2. Statistical Quality Control (SQC): Achieve Precision Every Time
SQC allows operators to measure characteristics of a finished part to confirm it meets exact specifications. MES systems like Epicor prompt operators when inspections are required, helping to maintain quality while tracking key data points. Whether you’re measuring dimensions or using gages, Epicor MES helps ensure every part meets regulatory and customer expectations.
3. Real-Time Data and Insights: Make Decisions with Confidence
Epicor MES gathers production data directly from machines and operators in real time. This eliminates time-consuming manual entry and helps businesses proactively solve problems. With access to accurate information, teams can reduce waste, increase throughput, and boost customer satisfaction.
4. Alerts and Notifications: Stay Ahead of Disruptions
There’s no time for delays in medical device manufacturing. With Epicor MES, alerts are automatically sent when production issues arise. Notifications can be delivered via text message, email, PA announcements, or even trigger edge devices to take action. This ensures immediate response and optimal plant performance.
5. Edge Computing: Instant Action at the Machine Level
Epicor MES supports edge devices that connect directly to machines. These devices can trigger automated actions—like rejecting faulty parts—based on monitored parameters. This real-time responsiveness is key to maintaining product integrity and minimizing rework.
Why It Matters
In the medical device sector, quality isn’t optional—it’s critical. With Epicor MES, manufacturers gain a centralized system that delivers:
- Enhanced compliance with FDA and industry regulations
- Automated quality checks and process control
