MES Market for Discrete Industries Grows as Newer Autonomous Capabilities Bring Increased Enterprise Collaboration

Manufacturing Execution Systems (MES) Converges InformationToday’s modern Manufacturing Execution Systems (MES), also known as Manufacturing Operations Management Systems (MOM), are a key enabler and often the central focus of digital transformation in manufacturing. With the pandemic came a wave of remote connected workers and accelerated digital transformation programs. ARC is seeing significant growth in the MES market in our newly released market size and forecast report, led by the need for collaboration and intelligence, increasing Industrial Internet of Things (IoT) investments, new platforms and autonomous capabilities, and end user demand for process flexibility and productivity.

Manufacturing Execution Systems (MES) Strategic Issues

In addition to providing a five-year market forecast, the Manufacturing Execution Systems for Discrete market research provides detailed quantitative current market data and addresses key strategic issues as follows.

Invest in Track and Trace Capabilities

Buyers should look for products that provide complete tracking and genealogy capabilities, meet government regulations, and enable partners to track production. Complying with regulations using track and trace and serialization is important to ensure product quality and accuracy. The ability to track and trace and serialization from the raw materials through the supply chain and often to the customers are strong drivers for usage. This is particularly true for automotive, aeronautics & defense, consumer products, electronics, semiconductors, and hazardous materials.

Invest in User Experience

Modern MES user interfaces should be more intuitive and easier to use than previous generation systems, and the digital dashboards should deliver intelligence and visualization that is specific to the product being made and the role of the person making decisions. Newer auto capabilities should enable the user with simpler, easier to use, visualize tools. 

The software should make data more accessible in dashboards or reports that enhance the user experience and enable users the ability to make sense of the data and digital thread.

Use software and applications that enable remote workers and helps make operational data-driven decisions faster and is scalable to accommodate large volumes of data regardless of where the applications are stored–on-premise, in the cloud, or on the edge.

Simplified Intuitive User Experience (UX)

Simplified intuitive user experience (UX) is very important. The ability for remote workers to access manufacturing intelligence easily and securely has emerged as another key characteristic. The MES must be easy to deploy, integrate, simple to use, intuitive, and collaborative. The technology must be able to connect to the data easily and have flexible, yet interoperable and modular applications that adapt easily to manufacturing changes. The software should be scalable and adapt quickly to new innovative technologies and applications as they emerge. Because user experience is so important, ARC is also seeing an interest in digital twins, simulation, augmented reality, virtual reality, and improved digital dashboards. Augmented and virtual reality is being used to enforce workflow and operational insights. Simulation is being used to enable better workflow. Specialized, easy-to-design dashboards, and adaptable mobile capabilities improve human process interaction and collaboration can have a huge impact on worker insights and manufacturing efficiencies.
