Industry 4.0 represents a revolution in industrial operations, with digitalization and automation now playing crucial roles in different markets. However, many companies hesitate to adopt MES (Manufacturing Execution Systems) systems due to the associated financial and implementation challenges. In this blog post, we show you an affordable, effective and efficient alternative: proGrow.

For all industries and all equipment, a single solution

proGrow is an intelligent and innovative solution designed to meet the needs of Industry 4.0. Our platform offers a range of advanced features, including real-time monitoring, data analysis, control of the entire production of a factory floor, complete customization of the calculation of indicators such as OEE and much more. proGrow is a cloud platform sold as software as a service, making it an attractive option for companies of any size due to its flexibility.

The advantages of an insightful, future-oriented choice

Zero-cost implementation? Why not?

While traditional MES systems tend to represent a significant investment in implementation and maintenance, platforms like ours operate in the cloud, have no implementation costs, are modular and configurable, allowing organizations to reduce their initial costs and enjoy an Industry 4.0 solution without draining their financial resources.

Month-long projects turned into hours!

Unlike complex MES systems that can take months or even years to implement, intelligent monitoring platforms can be configured and implemented in just a few hours. This means that companies can start reaping the benefits of data from their equipment and workstations more quickly and enjoy fewer interruptions to their operations.

Integration with any existing system...including an MES system

Our solution is highly compatible and can be easily integrated into an organization's existing systems. This allows companies to take advantage of previous investments in technology and avoid a complete replacement of systems. 

proGrow can extend the capabilities of an MES with more equipment integration options, enable greater freedom in the treatment and analysis of performance indicators and guarantee the digitalization of dedicated collaboration flows such as continuous improvement, quality and even maintenance. 

Whether it's through an ERP or MES system, the two-way flow of information can take place effectively, giving you the chance to feed important processes such as stock management or production costing. On the other hand, it will have the possibility of being fed with information such as production planning or bill of materials, for a truly rich and automated data flow.

Constantly evolving without the need to buy new versions

Technology is a world with an enormous speed of evolution. Nowadays, everything around us is technological and has major potential to become obsolete in a short space of time. This is often the case with software that is purchased in its entirety and is stuck with the version it was purchased for because the company is unable to justify another large investment in upgrading it. SaaS business models provide for this evolution at no cost to the customer, and therefore prevent the technologies used from becoming obsolete, while also constantly improving the product through customer feedback.
