RedViking Argonaut: Flexible, scalable MES at IMTS

RedViking announces Argonaut, the flexible, scalable MES, to be introduced to the market at IMTS 2016, with a media-only press conference. The first manufacturing performance platform of its kind, Argonaut lets users install only the manufacturing apps they need, only where they need them and control them from a central location.  

 

Start from nothing or make an existing MES perform better. Argonaut’s open architecture gives users the ability to start with one app and add others as they need them. Put error-proofing on one cell, tracking and product genealogy on another and automated work instructions throughout the plant.  Update them all from a central location, with virtually no downtime.

 

With full IIoT publish/subscribe capability, users will have the ability to provide manufacturing data to any secure recipient anywhere in the world.

 

Argonaut uses Spearhead, the simple, affordable edge of network device that captures data directly from PLCs and other plant floor devices, eliminating the need for an operation-level PC.

 

RedViking designs and builds turnkey solutions for manufacturers – manufacturing software, custom machines, complete assembly lines, robotic cells and more. Serving customers worldwide in the aerospace, automotive, heavy equipment, off-highway and defense industries, RedViking is headquartered in Michigan with engineering centers in Texas and North Carolina.
