Hi everyone,
I work at a chemical manufacturing company, and we're in the middle of migrating from IFS Applications V8 to IFS Cloud. One of the points is how to handle manufacturing execution on the shop floor, with a particular focus on assisted weighing.
Assisted weighing is critical in our process: the operator needs step-by-step guidance when dosing each component, with real-time weight capture straight from the scale, per-component tolerance validation, blocking when the value falls outside the range, and lot and location binding at each weighing to ensure traceability. The core question is how much of this IFS Cloud covers natively and what's left over.
I'd like to understand how those of you already in production solved this kind of scenario. Did you rely on IFS Cloud's native Shop Order and Manufacturing capabilities? Did you adopt a market MES integrated with IFS? Or did you end up building something in-house? And how did the scale integration turn out?
Any practical experience would help a lot.
Thanks in advance.
