The Importance of Competence in MES

At this point, I would like to remind the classic bee and fly experiment. When a light source is given from the bottom of an open-mouthed bottle, the bee, which knows that it will exit from the side where the light comes from in the NCA, cannot get out of the bottle by constantly hitting the bottom, while the fly, which has no such knowledge, randomly attacks every point and can get out by hitting the mouth of the bottle. Incomplete and inadequate information sometimes leads to failures and, as in the example, to despair. The basis of all the unsuccessful initiatives I have witnessed in our sector is the lack of knowledge that exists simultaneously in those who demand and supply technology.

Let's think about how even the basic disciplines of positive science from the past have branched and elaborated. While in history there were scientists who could specialize in astronomy, mathematics, physics and engineering at the same time, today each of these disciplines has many sub-specialties. The learning process is continuous in technology and Industry 4.0 and MES systems, which are a part of it, as in every field. The era of knowing everything has passed, being an expert in your field is gaining value. At this point, companies that are experts in their field, have knowledge competence and application experience should be selected as technology partners. You should choose companies that have a staff that can adapt software and hardware products for you, a support team that can provide full support to all customers, and above all, dynamic staff with vision and goals.

Since the solutions mentioned are not consumables, the point that should not be forgotten when evaluating the F / P ratios is the values and gains that you gain from the investment made when the system is successful. Since an incorrect choice will result in failure, it will become the most costly choice.
