Driving real-time manufacturing visibility for AKA Otomotiv with Siemens Opcenter Execution Discrete
Purpose
- Establish real-time visibility and control over shop floor execution through a Manufacturing Execution System (MES) designed for discrete manufacturing.
- Replace manual and fragmented data capture with a single, reliable source of manufacturing truth for faster, data-driven decisions.
- Strengthen traceability and execution control to better support automotive quality standards and long-term digitalization goals.
Solution Approach
- Worked closely with AKA Otomotiv to understand workflows, priorities, and execution-level requirements on the shop floor.
- Designed a tailored MES approach (not a generic rollout) focused on real-time execution, standardized processes, and data accuracy.
- Defined a clear roadmap aligned with quick operational improvements and longer-term Industry 4.0 objectives.
- Ensured usability and adoption through continuous collaboration with operational teams and alignment with daily manufacturing practices.
Systems & Tools
- Siemens Opcenter Execution Discrete (Opcenter EXDS)
The Results
Implemented a robust MES foundation that made production data instantly accessible, enabling faster and more confident decision-making across operations.
Standardized execution processes and reduced manual data handling—improving reporting accuracy, minimizing errors, and accelerating response to deviations.
Improved real-time identification of bottlenecks and performance issues, strengthening cross-department coordination, traceability, and compliance readiness—while increasing overall digital maturity.
