Cantier is on the verge of the fourth industrial revolution, Industry 4.0, as it emerges to meet the demand tailored for fit products at affordable prices and at the same time, giving manufacturers flexible mass production processes that can be immediately adapted to market changes.

Industry 4.0 calls for an agile and affordable manufacturing fueled by technology enablers such as the Industrial Internet of Things (IIoT), Cyber Physical System, 3D printing, cloud computing, and BIG data. This ties the world of production and networking in a connected environment allowing the ERP & MES systems to become the backbone of the network by connecting the logistics systems, shop floor facilities, smart machines, sensors, and devices to allow exchange of commands.

The industry 4.0 is compatible with the ERP system and is fully integrated with manufacturing execution systems (MES). As a result, it is possible to track and transform raw materials to finished goods making it a closer link with quality information and equipment maintenance details that are key elements of manufacturing. More importantly, manufacturers need to address whether their existing ERP environment can support this level of integration with MES as they embark on their journey towards Industry 4.0.

Industry 4.0 aligned Cantier MES, can easily be integrated with leading ERPs such as SAP, Oracle, and Microsoft. Cantier MES can also be integrated with any other ERP applications that are capable of communicating or interfacing using APIs, web services, or SQL bridge options. As a technology partner of these leading ERPs, Cantier can help you implement both ERP and MES as an integrated solution.
