ARC Advisory Group’s research makes it evident that today’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, IT/OT convergence, and cloud adoption in manufacturing. ARC expects significant growth in the MES market, led by the need for collaboration and intelligence, increasing Industrial Internet of Things (IoT) investments, new platforms and autonomous capabilities, operator advisors with AI capabilities and end user demand for process flexibility and productivity. Manufacturing execution systems continue to be strategic to digital transformation and efficient manufacturing. New digital technologies including AI, digital twins, augmented and virtual reality, and new low-code/no-code platforms are disruptive to manufacturing and are being used with the newer generation MES/MOM solutions which are more secure, easier to integrate and deploy, and enable enterprise-wide collaboration for today’s more autonomous and digitally driven manufacturing.
"Modern enterprise MES software helps provide end-to-end manufacturing visibility from the design process to the supply chain. The future of MES will be more autonomous data collection and operations. New interoperable low-code/no-code MES platforms are being designed to accommodate digital transformation and enhance smart manufacturing. MES/MOM will continue to expand with enterprise-wide intelligence and user experience (UX) that enables remote connected workers with enterprise manufacturing intelligence,” according to Janice Abel, Principal Analyst and key author of ARC's Manufacturing Execution Systems for Discrete Market Research.
Manufacturing Execution Systems for Discrete Market Trends
In addition to providing detailed competitive market share data, the research also addresses key market trends as follows:
Inflation, Sustainability, and Geopolitical Challenges, Fueling Digital Transformation
Inflation, sustainability, tariffs and other economic and geopolitical challenges e.g. (Ukraine war, weather conditions, geopolitical, etc.) are driving the market and accelerating the digital transformation and adoption of MES, as companies realize the value the systems can provide. Material shortages are driving the need for more supply chain deployments.
Autonomous Operations
Manufacturing applications are becoming more autonomous with less human involvement. Today most of the autonomous operations assist the workers but the future of manufacturing will integrate/embed AI into more applications for highly automated factories that support intelligent digital operations, holistic collaboration, and visibility throughout the global enterprise. MES functionality and applications are expanding and getting deeper and richer.
Connected Collaborative Workers Across Global Operations from/to Everywhere
Today’s cloud computing and mobile devices are enabling connected workers with better operations data globally. It is important that workers can connect from anywhere. Cloud computing and mobile devices and enhanced cellular networks (5G) combined with AR/VR/MR, simulation and digital twins is leading to a future of enhanced connected collaborative workers. Physical and digital worlds will continue to blend in a way that will enhance and streamline workflows and services.
