Case Study: Sigma achieves real-time factory control and paper-free operations with Mapex MES

Sigma trusts Mapex to drive the digital transformation of some of its factories in Europe

Sigma, a leading European processed meat products company, sought a Manufacturing Execution System (MES) to drive its digital transformation and support its Lean Management initiative. Their challenge was to digitize data collection, gain real-time visibility into production metrics, eliminate paper-based processes, and improve traceability and operational efficiency across its numerous factories. They selected the Mapex MES system to address these needs.

The solution from Mapex was implemented, starting with a successful pilot and followed by a roll-out based on a core template to ensure scalability. The implementation resulted in reliable real-time tracking of key indicators like OEE, a significant increase in productivity and efficiency, and the complete elimination of paper and information silos through integration with the company's ERP. Mapex's work allowed Sigma to speed up decision-making and embark on an ambitious roadmap to deploy the system across more of its European plants.
