The combination of Lantek Analytics and Lantek MES Manager allows us to gather the information provided by the machines and the manufacturing processes and cross-check it with descriptive and historical data. This synergy through Lantek software products not only minimizes errors, but also prepares us for anticipating events through data analysis. Subsequently, business decisions are easier to make, faster and more intelligently, resulting in better management of the plant or plants and, in addition to this, significant benefits that improve the overall management of the factory.
With the analytical management solutions developed by Lantek you can view everything that is happening at the plant, creating a robust management model that makes it possible to adapt to any scenario. Lantek Analytics provides everything from the performance of each machine to the efficiency of a line or a plant. And also the exhaustive analysis of the company’s clients and sales channels, anticipating manufacturing orders.
Equally, ManufacturingExecutionSystem (MES) is the comprehensive solution for managing and optimizing manufacturing processes, allowing real-time control of all of the activities taking place at the production plant. Lantek MES has four functional areas that complement each other:
Production is managed through the Lantek MES Manager software. With Lantek MES Manager, we can closely monitor, in real time, the status of the parts.
Lantek MES Wos takes care of data validation. Via intuitive screens, users will be provided with an efficient solution for gathering, again in real time, all manufacturing data, optimizing production in the machine where the work is being done, controlling the activity of the machine, as well as the consumption of material and human resources.
For its part, Lantek MES Capture is linked with mobility. As its name suggests, MES Capture is a data gathering system integrated with the MES systems that allows each process to be managed and controlled from any place, in real time. With this tool, the operator can immediately identify possible deviations and correct them, as well as keep a record of the hours dedicated to each task, something very useful for companies with employees who are constantly on the move.
Finally, Lantek MES Inventoryprovides Inventory management. It will facilitate a reliable overview of the real stock, be it in production, in storage or on order. This system makes it possible to achieve significant savings in the consumption of sheet metal and scraps. Given that it is connected to Lantek Integra, the system updates the real cost of the products automatically. And the fact that it includes barcode or QR code readers makes identification easier and facilitates data entry or reading. It is an effective program for controlling past logs and performing an extensive analysis of the inventory.
The solutions provided by the 4 functional areas of Lantek MES result in tangible benefits such as:
Ultimately, at Lantek,we aim to use competitive and tested solutions like those showcased here, Lantek MES and Lantek Analytics, to facilitate our clients’ path towards digitization and help them to be more competitive in the challenging era of Industry 4.0.

The change is now and, following the impact of COVID-19 and its consequences, it is much more urgent than it was just a few weeks ago. Two months ago, digital transformation, transforming plants into authentic Digital Factories, was a necessity that was increasingly requested by the market in general, and by clients and suppliers in particular, but today it has turned into a question of survival. The harsh and unexpected reality that has been imposed on us has, at the very least, left a significant mark. Those who are best prepared will survive and will be the most solvent. Lantekaccompanies its clients along this exciting path, helping them to take steps which are safe and sound.
