To automate the process of production logistics, the management of MMK LLC decided to improve the operation of the enterprise using the industry solution TALARIX MES.

As part of the project, the following tasks were completed:

• Detailed examination of as-is production logistics processes was carried out, consulting on their improvement and digitalization was carried out.
• A conceptual design "as to be" of the future MES enterprise system based on TALARIX the MES solution for the entire production cycle of LLC "" has been developed MMK- from the purchase of raw materials to the transfer to the warehouse of finished products.
• TALARIX MES has been implemented in the Meat and Spice Cooler and Spice Area. In these areas, the standard system was adapted to the needs and features of MMK LLC, field users were trained and the system was put into commercial operation with the help of TALARIX specialists.

As a result of the project at the sections "Refrigerator of meat raw materials" and "Spice," the company got the opportunity to:
