MES as a keeper of company know-how

Knowledge management in production: Many people will dismiss this topic and say: "Knowledge is distributed independently. Employees are responsible for this themselves".
However, practice shows that this is not the case. In particular, structures in which important company know-how can be found in the heads of a few or even individual employees need to be broken up and reorganized.
PROXIA Software AG has developed a new module to promote these processes of reorganization and restructuring of knowledge and at the same time to establish a corporate culture based on the constant exchange of knowledge.

Knowledge Management - Identification, Organization & Exchange

With a focus on the initial product and the production process, the "Knowledge Management" module supports manufacturing companies in the following areas:

Knowledge identification and acquisition
The first step in knowledge management is to identify and record the existing knowledge in the company. This includes not only documented knowledge, such as manuals and process descriptions, but also implicit knowledge that exists in the minds of employees. Thanks to an intuitive front end, knowledge can be captured where new knowledge is created - at the machine.

Knowledge organization and storage
The system supports the structured, topic-related storage of knowledge. The data is stored centrally and is therefore available as an important data source throughout the company.
The clear structuring and categorization of knowledge makes it easier for employees to find relevant information quickly.

Knowledge exchange and distribution
A central aspect of knowledge management is the active exchange and provision of knowledge within the company. To this end, PROXIA Software AG applications can be used to retrieve knowledge where it is needed. Whether management, team leaders or employees in production.


In addition to the operational aspects mentioned above, knowledge management in the PROXIA MES system leads to some very positive side effects. For example, the system promotes employee development. Through the continuous exchange of knowledge, employees can be enabled to fully exploit their potential and actively contribute to improving production processes. Furthermore, knowledge management in the MES system can lay the foundation for continuous innovation. By collecting ideas, feedback and suggestions for improvement from all levels of the company, new solutions can be developed and implemented in order to increase competitiveness and strengthen the market position.


Overall, it is clear that knowledge management plays a key role in success as part of the digitalization strategy. By investing in the acquisition, organization and use of knowledge, companies can optimize their production processes, improve quality and drive innovation.
