Acquiring and being able to quickly serve a new variety of customers is an important part of a company&#8217;s strategic focus. When such projects are launched, they reach a point where the possibilities for optimization need IT infrastructure.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Often, deploying and rolling out IT in greenfield sites proves to be difficult, as companies are presented with many challenges in meeting internal standards that have been established over many years. Those include technological challenges such as privacy, cloud and streaming compliance and secure global information flows as well as organizational challenges like staff training and high capital expenses in general.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Siemens\u2019 MES with multi-plant capabilities, Opcenter Execution, focusses on not only enabling rapid global deployment but also making it simple and less expensive.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"has-large-font-size\">Right choice of architecture<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"1024\" height=\"819\" src=\"https:\/\/blogs.sw.siemens.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/3\/2023\/11\/Blog_2-1024x819.png\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-4170\" srcset=\"https:\/\/blogs.sw.siemens.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/3\/2023\/11\/Blog_2-1024x819.png 1024w, https:\/\/blogs.sw.siemens.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/3\/2023\/11\/Blog_2-600x480.png 600w, https:\/\/blogs.sw.siemens.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/3\/2023\/11\/Blog_2-768x614.png 768w, https:\/\/blogs.sw.siemens.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/3\/2023\/11\/Blog_2-1536x1228.png 1536w, https:\/\/blogs.sw.siemens.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/3\/2023\/11\/Blog_2-900x720.png 900w, https:\/\/blogs.sw.siemens.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/3\/2023\/11\/Blog_2.png 1962w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 1024px) 100vw, 1024px\" \/><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<div style=\"height:25px\" aria-hidden=\"true\" class=\"wp-block-spacer\"><\/div>\n\n\n\n<p>The key to the right approach is the choice of a suitable software architecture, such as a hub architecture. Therefore, a regional hub will be installed, from which the rollout for the other plants will be launched.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Advantages can already be observed in the operational part of implementation as less servers require maintenance and updating, and fewer licenses need to be acquired. A positive side effect is overall reduced running costs.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<div style=\"height:72px\" aria-hidden=\"true\" class=\"wp-block-spacer\"><\/div>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"has-large-font-size\">Flexibility as an enabler for a holistic organization<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The possibility of creating a comprehensive system with integrated cloud computing offers full-time flexibility. Not only can data be used instantaneously to quickly react to different problems, but also general efficiency and overall know-how reaches new levels.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Ideas can be shared and implemented overnight. Additionally, the ability to configure and apply patches without having to synchronize production downtimes means that implementation is possible on a plant-by-plant basis without impacting the other plants, and thus production can continue as scheduled.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>If you want to find out more about our MES\u2019 multi-plant capabilities and its potentials, read the article below:<\/p>\n\n\n<a href=\"https:\/\/blogs.sw.siemens.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/3\/2023\/11\/Opcenter-Execution-Multiplant-Capabilities-Article-.pdf\" class=\"pdfemb-viewer\" style=\"width:1092px;height:1092px;\" data-width=\"1092\" data-height=\"1092\" data-toolbar=\"top\" data-toolbar-fixed=\"on\">Opcenter-Execution-Multiplant-Capabilities-Article-<\/a>\n<figure class=\"wp-block-embed-pdf-viewer-pdf wp-block-embed-pdf-viewer-pdf__content-wrapper aligncenter\"><object class=\"embed-pdf-viewer\" data=\"https:\/\/blogs.sw.siemens.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/3\/2023\/11\/Opcenter-Execution-Multiplant-Capabilities-Article-.pdf#scrollbar=1&amp;toolbar=1\" type=\"application\/pdf\" height=\"1092\" width=\"1092\" title=\"\"><\/object><iframe loading=\"lazy\" class=\"embed-pdf-viewer\" src=\"https:\/\/docs.google.com\/viewer?url=https%3A%2F%2Fblogs.sw.siemens.com%2Fopcenter%2Fwp-content%2Fuploads%2Fsites%2F3%2F2023%2F11%2FOpcenter-Execution-Multiplant-Capabilities-Article-.pdf&amp;embedded=true\" frameborder=\"0\" height=\"1092\" width=\"1092\" title=\"\"><\/iframe><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<hr class=\"wp-block-separator has-alpha-channel-opacity\"\/>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Expanding into new markets is a necessity for most companies.
