Composable MES user consoles

Composable MES user consoles comprise configurable interfaces with context driven content for managing and executing manufacturing operations. This documentation introduces the foundational elements of the Operator and Supervisory consoles, which are central to AVEVA Composable MES.

The console interfaces are designed to support two key production roles:

• Operator console: A task-driven interface that guides operators through their daily responsibilities with minimal navigation.

• Supervisory console: A supervisory role focused interface that provides supervisors with extended visibility and control over production workflows.

These consoles are built as central elements for the composable and context driven user experience of the AVEVA MES solution that allows for flexible configuration and scalability.

At the heart of this composable architecture are the AVEVA FRAME, Modules, and Use Cases:

• AVEVA FRAME serves as a basic layer composed of commonly used AVEVA products, the MES database, automation interfaces, and centralized functionalities like localization, navigation, CONNECT publisher, and other core components within the solution architecture.

• Modules are predefined solution elements tailored to specific MES functional areas. Each module is a self-contained package of MES functionality (module components), including UI elements, workflows, and logic. Modules can be used individually or combined to build a comprehensive MES solution. For example, one module might handle job management, while another manages performance. The layer enables a plug, play, and configure approach for use cases.

• Use Cases are user-centric workflows that define how MES functionality is applied in real-world production scenarios. Note that while use cases are often paired with user interfaces, this is not a strict requirement for them. A use case might involve starting a job, assigning a downtime reason, or viewing performance dashboards. Use cases are composed of modular components and are configured to match specific production requirements.

Note that the user console functionality is available after its installation on top of the AVEVA FRAME without the installation of additional modules or use cases.
