Overview
Key Findings
Smart manufacturing initiatives are changing the focus of manufacturers from internally focused, plant-specific functionality to more end-to-end solutions, changing manufacturing execution systems (MES) from plant monitoring to a key data visibility and intelligence source for the extended enterprise and supply chain.
Parity exists in the overall use-case scores for MES offerings because MES is a mature market. Differentiation comes from vendor- and product-specific focus on particular capabilities, manufacturing styles and vertical industries domain expertise.
Parity in the market does not mean mediocrity. All of the vendors featured in the Critical Capabilities for Manufacturing Execution Systems are viable and capable players
