PCS-MES

PROCESS CONTROL SYSTEMS & MANUFACTURING EXECUTION SYSTEM

The PCS-MES project aims to develop an integrated IT platform specifically designed to effectively support the production chain of the textile and fashion industry.

The main goal is to evolve an MES system by adapting it to the specific characteristics of the textile industry through an extensive verticalization process.

The project involves the integration of existing modules with newly developed, customized modules aimed at real-time production monitoring, quality control, machine parameter management through IoT sensors, advanced traceability using RFID, and support for resource and energy efficiency.
Sustainable consumption and production aim to “do more and better with less,” by reducing resource use, degradation, and pollution throughout the entire production cycle.

The entire system will be designed to comply with the requirements of the Corporate Sustainability Reporting Directive (CSRD), enabling the automatic generation of traceable and certified information to support companies’ strategic initiatives.

The architecture will be built according to the ISA-95 standard, with distinct levels for ERP, MES and OT, and will be based on modern and scalable technologies (InfluxDB for telemetry data, OPC UA and MQTT protocols for communication, and REST APIs for integration).

Another distinctive element of the project is its data-driven approach to supply chain collaboration: the creation of digital matrices, intelligent dashboards, and collaboration portals will enable the management and sharing of critical information among partners, laboratories, suppliers, and stakeholders.
