Outcomes
Regulation & Quality
Ensure regulatory compliance and quality assurance with real-time product and process analysis. Gain full visibility into quality operations, export data to customers, and manage issues end-to-end with an integrated Non-Conformance Management module.
Meet Complex Demands
Supports long product lifecycles with multiple phases of R&D, prototyping, and testing. Handles complex production with engineering change orders and is built to manage extensive internal and external supply chains.
Digitize
Digitize and manage manufacturing records to easily contextualize product and process data. Streamline oversight and reduce the administrative burden of handling large volumes of manufacturing information.
Sustainability
Lower utilities expenditures and mitigate risk exposure by operationalizing sustainability agendas. Tie sustainability data into orders to contextualize utilities information by product, machine, and people. “Bill of Resources”
End of Result
GE Aerospace
GE Aerospace deployed a next-gen MES with GE Vernova’s Proficy Plant Applications, boosting efficiency at 50+ global sites. By unifying systems, they gained end-to-end visibility, increased productivity by 1.95%, and improved on-time delivery by 10 points. The Cheltenham, UK plant cut manual tasks, connected machines, and optimized labor tracking. Using Proficy Historian on AWS reduced costs by 20%, saving $185K annually, while predictive maintenance improved machine health and cut cycle times by 5%. GE Vernova’s Proficy software drives operational excellence and smart factory transformations worldwide.
