​At ARC's European Industry Forum 2016, Denis Besnoit, Project Manager at French Moët Hennessy – Louis Vuitton (LVMH-PCIS) will provide an insight into the implementation of MES in their cosmetics manufacturing plants.  The French LVMH fragrance brands include well-known names like: Parfums Christian Dior, Parfums Givenchy, Guerlain, etc. Denis has managed the implementation of MES systems in plants of the LVMH fragrance brands for five years.

In 2011 LVMH (Moët Hennessy – Louis Vuitton) fragrance brands implemented Quartis Optima, a full and scalable MES software in its Guerlain plant. In 2013 the company started a project to introduce MES in its Dior factory in Orleans. The goal was the implementation of three modules of the MES Quartis Optima suites to enable Lean Manufacturing. The software allowed to implement data acquisition, OEE (overall equipment effectiveness) measurement, performance analysis as well as tracking and genealogy. The project involved 2 plants with 55 production lines, 45 of those are automatic lines and 10 are operator lines. LVMH can now benefit from the positive effect of running 3 plants with the same MES solution.

The project began in September 2014 and was completed in December 2015. Bodet Osys acted as integrator and provided the necessary MES solution and process knowledge. They cooperated with CGI, an independent IT technology and business process services firm. CGI brought its knowledge and experience in project and change management to the implementation. The complementary effect of this collaboration brought the project to a successful end.

Industry in Transition:  Smart, Safe, and Sustainable Manufacturing

New and emerging IT technologies combined with innovative process technologies and product development, come together in innovative forms of physical manufacturing.  This merger of technologies, such as the Internet of Things (IoT), industrial data analytics, machine learning, and new computing architectures with additive manufacturing or modular and mobile production, is supported by new electronic and informational processes.  These initiatives, known as Industrial Internet of Things (IIoT), Industrie 4.0 or Smart Manufacturing, have opened up the possibility for new business models, which can radically change the way industrial enterprises do business.

This year's forum offers these dedicated workshops:

Asset Life Cycle Management & Smart Machines

Cyber Security

Energy & Sustainability

MESA – IT/OT Convergence, Modularization & IIoT Implications

Smart & Advanced Manufacturing, Industrie 4.0 & IIoT

 

The ARC Industry Forum Europe 2016 will take place on March 2-3 2016 in the Mercure hotel Amsterdam City, in the Netherlands.
