Proficy Smart Factory MES Likes & Dislikes

Shop floor automation production quality and traceability Data aggregation through MDC Integration capabilities Reporting features industry specificity

Historian is a strong product. The import and export feature is very helpful for bulk tag manipulation. We have tried other Historian options and have found that GE Historian is really a quality Historian.

Agile, data integrity, fit-to-purpose.

Proficy smart factory should invest in better reporting and dashboarding capabilities, especially increase offering for out of the box reports. Ops Hub as a visualization and UX layer should be expanded to accommodate better user experience.

The product is difficult to configure. Configuration requires a full time associate with MES experience to manage, monitor and troubleshoot for configuration of new lines/ systems.

This system is very interactive, easy to understand and focused on the operation. I would classify it as fit-to-purpose, as it has all the tools that we need to build the processes of your manufacturing steps. Also, this system brings a new vision for data analysis of the factory. With all the integrations and the tools that Proficy has, we can have a better understanding based on all the data and develop ideas to improve our operation.
