The Selfbits Manufacturing Suite (SMS) is a modular MES (Manufacturing Execution System). Instead of a \u201cbig bang\u201d rollout, SMS follows a modular principle: you start with the modules that deliver immediate benefits and then expand step by step. The suite combines a modern web application for planning and control with an intuitive mobile app for data collection directly at the machine \u2013 for consistently paperless manufacturing. <\/p>

The SMS can be seamlessly integrated into existing system landscapes and is deliberately designed to protect investments and enable pragmatic implementation: ERP and shop floor data are neatly connected via REST and GraphQL interfaces, so that processes are not reinvented but standardized and digitally mapped. This allows you to expand your MES according to your needs \u2013 from the first use case to a company-wide solution. <\/p>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t

The Selfbits Manufacturing Suite is operated as SaaS as standard and hosted on secure AWS servers in Frankfurt am Main. You benefit from rapid rollout, clear responsibilities in operation, and a solution that can be expanded modularly as required. Data transmission is secured throughout, and access is controlled on a role-based basis to ensure that your IT governance is reliably adhered to. <\/p>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t

For companies with strict IT and compliance requirements, SMS can also be implemented in-house. Data sovereignty and operational management remain entirely in your hands, and integration into your system landscape is carried out according to your standards. This allows you to take advantage of modular expansion and predictable implementation in your own data center. <\/p>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t

At the same time, it provides work-related feedback on your times and quantities for retrieval. The integration can be implemented either by you or by Selfbits as a service and operated as a managed service (see \u201cSelfbits Flow Designer<\/a>\u201d) on a virtual machine in your network. <\/p>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/details>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t

Yes<\/strong>. Selfbits covers the central MES core functions in a modular way: data acquisition (PDA and MDE), detailed planning, order processing on the shop floor, key figures including OEE, fault management, traceability, and integration with machines and ERP. You start with the building blocks you need today and add further functions later. <\/p><\/span>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/span>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t

\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t

It depends. Standard operation is a cloud solution without local servers and with hosting in Germany, which typically allows projects to be launched quickly and with manageable IT costs. If an on-premise license is absolutely necessary, this is generally possible and will be agreed upon on a case-by-case basis. <\/p><\/span>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/span>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t

Machine data can be securely transferred from your local network to the SMS, including via a REST API. Depending on the plant landscape, the connection is established via standards such as OPC UA or MQTT, or directly via sensors, including retrofit scenarios. Alternatively, operating and production data can also be recorded manually on a tablet and later automated step by step. <\/p><\/span>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/span>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t

We recommend a pilot with a clear use case, such as order progress, OEE, or detailed planning, on a limited line or in a specific area.

SMS offers REST and GraphQL interfaces for synchronizing central ERP data such as articles, parts lists, work plans, and production orders. In addition, work-related feedback such as times and quantities can be provided for ERP processing, either in real time or as a batch, depending on the integration logic. The integration can be implemented by your team or by Selfbits and, if desired, run as a managed service on a virtual machine in your network. <\/p><\/span>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/span>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t

Yes, the connection is designed to be manufacturer-independent and ranges from retrofitting individual systems to integrating entire machine parks. Where no clean signals are available, you can start pragmatically with manual recording on a tablet and add automation later, as soon as valid signal recording is possible. <\/p><\/span>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/span>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t
