CoreTest Technologies

Ascari Ltd is a professional services, software solutions and software development company that designs, implements, manages and supports integrated systems for manufacturing sectors requiring a high level of operational efficiency.

These solutions connect supply chains together, provide operational visibility, help drive cost reductions and increase efficiencies for manufacturing / research and development based companies operating throughout Europe.

Our expertise includes Manufacturing Execution (MES), Enterprise Resource Planning (ERP), Shop Floor Control, Factory Automation and Production Equipment Integration.

Ascari work across all manufacturing sectors: Automotive, Medical, Pharmaceutical, Semiconductor, MEMS, Photovoltaic/Solar, Display and others.

Although the traditional MES (Manufacturing Execution System) has a valid place in a large company's software application arsenal, smaller organisations or organisations that are more research and development oriented require a different solution. An approach gaining momentum for manufacturers requiring knowledge not only of what is happening on the manufacturing plant floor but also for some of the wider business processes is the creation of Plant Portals.

Manufacturing Execution Systems provide a broad set of functionality for coordination, control and optimization of a manufacturer's business and production processes.

MES systems differ widely, some can be used 'out of the box' and implemented rapidly, others are more of a toolkit that require a great deal of customisation.

The MES is usually the central application for an organisation that is serious about traceability, quality, performance management, yield improvement and factory automation and is often integrated fully with an Enterprise Resource Planning (ERP) Application like SAP R/3.

Ascari have worked with many MES software packages including PROMIS, Workstream, FactoryWorks and X-Factory. We are able to advise on some of the most suitable for your industry and we can support your project teams when implementing MES in your organisation.

One of the most flexible, modular and multi-platform MES software applications is provided from our technology partner Eyelit.

Ascari specialises in the design and development of web centric Manufacturing Business Intelligence and Statistical Process Control portals for enhancing manufacturing visibility across the Product Life Cycle and Supply Chain.

Using technology from Predisys, the technology leader in turning massive plant floor databases into useful intelligence, Ascari help organisations bridge the gap between Product Development and Engineering with Manufacturing.

Manufacturing Portals allow increased use of data and production information throughout the organisation and provide the mechanism for enhancing Continuous Improvement in Manufacturing. Portals are based on Microsoft SharePoint Services; delivering powerful data analysis and operational performance reporting capability straight to a web browser.
