Digitalization of multi‑plant manufacturing has improved genealogy tracking and production efficiency
One aspect of GE Proficy Smart Factory MES being very customizable is also a disadvantage because the learning curve for any IT staff is very steep. Whatever is taught in IT training cannot be completely applied from the day one they join the company; they have to learn all the configurations. GE Proficy Smart Factory MES requires that you learn very fast, and apart from that, the total cost is a concern. GE Proficy Smart Factory MES implementation comes with costs attached that include the implementation itself, integration with other software, and licensing. Regarding needed improvements, the engineer hired for the GE Proficy Smart Factory MES implementation must be given at least one to two weeks of training from a very experienced person who has already done GE Proficy Smart Factory MES implementation. This would reduce project timelines, which could lead to reduced costs.
