“Open and scalable solution, company open to non standard implementation.”

Nov 20, 2019
Support is good and team is flexible and open to new implementations. As standard machines are many, we faced some problems in connecting to equipments, related probably to different versions/SW version from the vendors. Solutions is open and scalable.

“The Mes Valor is good product, Siemens needs only more time to runs out the integration”

3.0
Jan 7, 2020
From a first look to Siemens Ecosystem, It looks interesting, It covers almost all features that our company needs. The real big problem of MES Valor is the interoperability with others enterprise systems in a Global Solution. I mean the MES is not natively integrated with Siemens PLM and Cloud. We faced some problems in connecting to standard equipments. From my personal point of view, the MES Siemens (according to roadmap Siemens has shown us) will be stunning solution in the next years, when the integration will be over.

Process Preparation X Likes & Dislikes

Like

open and scalable

Like

I like the IOT Box and OML Protocol. OML is open source and it make the system scalable and real-time

Like

The core foundation is very robust and well structured, with an open database and API's. This has allowed us to extend the manufacturing database to support are internally develop applications and functionality. This includes machine parameters, enforced routing (we did not purchase the enforced routing module), defect management and rework (as noted elsewhere the Valor QMS did not work for us), product labeling and laser marking, epoxy encapsulation, product packing etc.

Dislike

expecting more SW compatibility and more straightforward connection to standard machine for electronics assembly (SMT, AOI, ICT)

Dislike

I don't like the service, it is too slow

Dislike

The QMS module. It never worked for us, and problems with this module created problems with the production data collection and also the reporting system

    Bug is expected, although not welcome, the time to resolve is too long.

    The major issue is slow response to resolve bugs or the suggested enhancements. Another concerns is the system development roadmap. Will Valor merge with Camstar?
