From March 17 to 20, the company presented COSERA, a specially developed MES/MOM system, at its headquarters in Mindelheim. The software acts as a central control system for the entire production and consolidates a century of process experience into an open, highly flexible solution.
A century of GROB stands for precision, innovation, and profound process understanding. Just in time for the in-house exhibition under the motto '100 years of GROB', the Bavarian machine builder presents COSERA, a Manufacturing Operations Management (MOM) system that goes far beyond conventional solutions. COSERA serves as the digital centerpiece of production and enables seamless, real-time control of the entire shop floor.
Transparency through deep integration
A core aspect of COSERA is the direct connection to SAP. The solution utilizes existing SAP security standards and can be integrated into the existing IT infrastructure without system breaks. For users, this means maximum data security while maintaining high transparency: All machine and process data are available throughout the plant, significantly reducing response times in production.
'We have incorporated all our knowledge from 100 years of mechanical engineering and production into COSERA,' explains Benedikt Gundling, Product Manager for Digital Products at GROB. 'The system is made by practitioners for practitioners. It is already successfully in use at several customers and proves daily that it sustainably increases efficiency on the shop floor. With COSERA, we offer our customers a digital control system that works as precisely and reliably as our machines.'
Openness as a strategic advantage
A special feature that distinguishes COSERA from market-standard systems is its openness. The software code is readable and customizable for the customer. This deliberately breaks with the trend of closed 'black box' systems. Companies can tailor the software to their specific manufacturing processes. The installation takes place directly at the customer's site, ensuring full sovereignty over their production data.
Thanks to deep machine connectivity, not only GROB machines but the entire machine park can be networked across manufacturers. This creates a unified data basis for analyses and optimizations.
The advantages of COSERA at a glance:
- Holistic control system: Central control and monitoring of the entire shop floor.
- SAP integration: Direct use of SAP security standards and seamless process connection.
- Customizability: Open, readable software code for customer-specific optimizations.
