MES Qubes (Creative IT): monitor production, control performance, improve workshop reliability

In many sites, the information already exists: machine data, quality statements, monitoring files, ERP, internal dashboards. However, when production drifts or a stoppage recurs, one difficulty recurs: the data is not available at the right time, in the right format, and with the right level of confidence.

Qubes (publisher: Creative IT) is an MES (Manufacturing Execution System) designed to transform workshop data into operational control, and already deployed on over 500 industrial sites: real-time production monitoring, equipment performance (TRS/OEE), and associated quality and traceability bricks.

CIPAM partners with Qubes to support manufacturers in their implementation: scoping, on-site deployment, connection to equipment, integration with information systems, adoption in the field and scaling up.

Qubes MES

What Qubes allows you to control, in concrete terms

1) Real-time production monitoring

Qubes enables you to monitor production progress as it happens: status, quantities, times, deviations, alerts. Information is no longer locked away in reports: it becomes visible and actionable.

Expected result: fewer grey areas, fewer late decisions, greater control over commitments.

 

2) Equipment performance : TRS/OEE and causes of loss

When stoppages are frequent and short, or when the causes are unqualified, performance deteriorates without solid explanation. Qubes provides equipment monitoring tools to measure and analyze losses (stoppages, slowdowns, rejects) and objectify improvement priorities.

Expected result: continuous improvement based on facts, not perceptions.

 

3) Flow-integrated quality and traceability

Quality control and traceability gain in robustness when they are integrated into the production flow, with clear rules, reliable records and the ability to quickly trace the history of a batch, material or operation. Qubes covers these dimensions, and can go as far as creating an electronic batch record, as required.

Expected result: fewer “surprise” non-conformities, and audit-defensible traceability.

 

4) Workshop connection and IS integration (ERP, CMMS, WMS, etc.)

The value of an MES is confirmed when it is properly integrated into the information system: exchanges with the ERP, status feedback to maintenance, consistency of reference systems, security of flows. Qubes is designed to fit into this ecosystem, and CIPAM takes charge of the realities of these interconnections.

Why CIPAM + Qubes: the link between software, field and IS

A MES generates value when three conditions are met:

  1. workshop data is collected correctly,
  2. it is structured and consistent (indicators, rules, reference systems),
  3. it is used on a daily basis by the teams concerned.

In this partnership :

  • Qubes provides the MES brick and product logic, focused on workshop management.
  • CIPAM brings experience of deployment in industrial environments: field connection, IS integration (ERP/GMAO/WMS depending on architecture), securing flows, change management and industrialization of the system.

Customer testimonials: three Qubes success stories

This feedback illustrates typical situations encountered on site: switchover from Excel tracking, search for responsiveness, “paperless” trajectory, ramp-up without loss of control.

Abatilles: from Excel to MES to make production more reliable

The Abatilles case study presents a transition to an MES in order to make production monitoring more reliable and gain in responsiveness. Qubes Expert is highlighted for its ergonomics (ease of use), low-code parameterization capability, and workshop-oriented modules (Quality Control, Alerts, TRS).

FAQ - Qubes (Creative IT)

Frequently asked questions

Is Qubes just for large groups?

No. The approach enables us to start with a pilot perimeter and progressively extend according to priorities and gains.

Can Qubes be connected to existing machines?

Yes, Qubes is designed to use workshop data (equipment, PLCs, input points) and make them usable.

What is CIPAM's role?

CIPAM is responsible for scoping, implementation, IS integration and support in the field, to guarantee data adoption and reliability.
