COSOL - Collaborative Solution Providers International

Middle-tier system infrastructures such as Manufacturing Execution Systems (MES)

• Serve to bind other system domains together while adding valuable real-time production status and capability information.
• Are frequently introduced in a piecemeal fashion, with only limited alignment to business strategies and processes, and incomplete integration to other system domains.
• Are required to deliver and receive critical information from specific sources in order to:
  • realise the maximum return on investment
  • maximise business agility
  • deliver rich levels of information for the production and management workforce
  • provide a linkage to other system domains.

COSOL delivers balanced middle-tier infrastructures to support manufacturing and production requirements.

Our clients are continually looking to make improved business decisions by being better informed on the current and potential performance of their production facilities.

Typical system functions covered by "Middle-Tier" systems are workflow analyses, supply chain optimisation, production and maintenance scheduling, equipment performance, automation, production performance, material movements and product quality.

Our team delivers to the client:

• Solid understanding of system definition and delivery methodologies (Enterprise Architecture).
• Solid understanding of Standards and Guidelines as defined by the ISA and MESA.
• Understanding of the application of current technologies for Middle-Tier Systems delivery.

We work with our clients to analyse the current manufacturing process or production operations, develop recommendations for improvement and execute the recommendations when appropriate.

COSOL use well defined methodologies to:

• Focus on a multiple step process to improve overall operational outcomes.
• Undertake problem investigation and identification, financial quantification, root cause analysis, feasibility and solution generation.
