tailored MES solution

What is the Ontire MES System?

In the tire industry, the Manufacturing Execution System (MES) is designed to streamline and manage various production processes. It integrates data on materials, machines, and workflows to help manufacturers operate more smoothly and efficiently.

Ontire® is a scalable and advanced MES solution specifically designed for the tire industry, supporting both greenfield and brownfield plants.

A groundbreaking code developed by Black Donuts and programmed by Smart Controls, Ontire ensures full traceability, compliance with regulatory demands, and seamless, paperless integration from the shop floor to the top floor. By using data across all processes—products, storage, faults, and activities—Ontire breaks down departmental silos. It makes data accessible, enabling horizontal integration and effortless sharing across departments, ultimately improving communication and operational efficiency.

Main Benefits

Ensures complete tracking of materials, processes, and products throughout the production cycle, helping to identify the source of any issues.

Implementing systems to prevent errors or defects during production by automating checks and enforcing quality standards.

Managing defective or non-compliant products (e.g., quarantine, banning items from use, rework handling), and tracking inspection and testing results for quality assurance.

Recording and analyzing alarms to identify and fix repetitive issues, improving Overall Equipment Effectiveness (OEE) by reducing downtime caused by recurring alarms.

Detailed reports to analyze production downtime and identify capacity issues, helping to improve overall production efficiency.

 Streamlining production planning and real-time monitoring of the shop floor to ensure smooth operations, optimize workflows, and maintain continuous production.

Why invest in OnTire?

Whether connecting via OPC servers, SCADA, third-party software, or directly from machines or sensors, OnTire supports a range of communication protocols. This robust connectivity ensures efficient and reliable data capturing across your entire operation.

OnTire’s Item Management Module controls the Bill of Materials and material consumption formulas and supports traceability and tracking, serving as the core for master data management. Molds and equipment/tooling are handled through the Tooling Module or Mold Management Module. Planning and scheduling are managed by the Smart Scheduler Module, which optimizes machine efficiency while seamlessly integrating with sales orders, tire planning, and raw material inventory, reducing delays and enhancing overall operations.

OnTire empowers you to generate custom reports using its intuitive query-based reporting system, offering actionable insights to improve decision-making. Alerts and notifications provide real-time production visibility to all stakeholders, ensuring timely responses to issues and informed decision-making.
