Industrial Digital Transformation Drives Growth in Manufacturing Execution Systems Markets According to New ARC Research

Separate ARC Advisory Group research reports on the markets for both the Manufacturing Execution Systems (MES) for the Discrete Industries and the MES for the Process Industries reveals that these systems are key enablers for industrial digital transformation and smart manufacturing. Implementing modern technologies and interoperable MES platforms across the enterprise is key to improving performance and optimizing value in both discrete manufacturing factories and in process plants.  The latter include refineries, petrochemical plants, power generation plants, paper and steel mills, and food and beverage plants.  Newer technologies, applications, platforms and products are impacting innovation and efficiency in the MES space and new modular applications that interoperate and enable collaboration in existing and emerging markets.

“New interoperable MES platforms are being designed to accommodate new technologies, including digitization, Big Data, Cloud, advanced/predictive analytics, augmented and virtual reality, additive manufacturing (3D printing), robotics, drones, and other devices and sensors.  These platforms will be able to assimilate IoT data in real time and integrate with more advanced operational technology systems including edge and cloud.  It will also enable enterprise-wide visibility, interoperability, and operator guidance,” according to Janice Abel, Principal Consultant at ARC Advisory Group and key author of ARC’s separate market analysis reports on MES for Discrete Industries and MES for Process Industries.
