A dozen years of MES Product Survey,
and interest is increasing
Manufacturing IT of strategic importance!
Over the past 12 years we have tracked the latest trends in manufacturing execution systems (MES) through our MES product survey.
This year, 61 suppliers from around the world told us about their services, products, technologies, quality and focus.
This is the highest response rate in the twelve-years of the survey, despite takeovers, mergers and a few bankruptcies in the MES market.
Clients and business partners have appreciated and benefitted from the clear product overviews and insights
into market developments it provides. Today there are more technologies and solutions to choose from than ever before.
This offers MES buyers a greater opportunity to find the perfect solution but also increases the challenge of finding it.
We hope this survey helps you shortlist and choose potential solutions from among the multitude of suppliers.
In summary, Logica concludes that the growing interest in MES in the last twelve years is justified. However, there is still a lot of room for improvement in linking MES with other systems and in appreciating the information from MES. Despite the strategic importance of the primary process, a lot of information still lands in a ‘black box’: not accessible to operators, operational managers or the boardroom. You can achieve a lot with good systems integration and an approach which delivers insight to the relevant persons in your manufacturing performance. Logica offers you the opportunity of proactive management, so you can effectively co-ordinate the performance of all steps within your production.
We hope that you gain useful insights from the 2011 MES product survey. If you would like an explanation of this survey or want to talk to us about optimising your manufacturing processes, we would love to hear from you.
