Here, it is important that the machine staff have a user interface [manufacturing execution system (MES) terminal] that can be adjusted to fit precisely the needs of the respective production processes, thus guiding the user simply in the sense of a workflow.
The successful implementation of an MES applies here. Problems with the implementation of information technology (IT) in the production-related sector are very often caused by the ...
