​ARC Advisory Group has just published a comprehensive updated market outlook study on Machine Vision.

The “Machine Vision Global Market Research Study” discusses current and historical market performance and related technology and business trends, profiles leading technology suppliers, and provides five-year global forecasts for the machine vision market.  Like all ARC market outlook studies, this report is based on ARC’s industry-leading market research database, extensive primary and secondary research, and proprietary economic modelling techniques.

“Machine vision technology has gradually replaced quality inspection performed by humans.  The technology has been in existence for around 30 years, but ease-of-use and price was a major deterrent for most manufacturers until recently.  A machine vision system which may have taken months for an integrator to install may now be set up in a matter of hours,” says Scott Evans, Research Analyst, ARC Advisory Group and principal author of this study.  

In addition to the PDF version of the full market study, the market data is optionally available in a personalized Excel workbook.  The workbook includes up to five years of historical data in addition to the current base year market data and five-year market forecast.  This workbook enables licensed users to freely manipulate the data to make it easier to analyze the latest data for business intelligence and generate custom reports.

ARC Advisory Group has just published a comprehensive updated market outlook study on Enterprise Resource Planning (ERP) in Manufacturing. 

The ERP in Manufacturing Global Market Research Study discusses current and historical market performance and related technology and business trends, profiles leading technology suppliers, and provides five-year global forecasts for the manufacturing ERP market.  Like all ARC market outlook studies, this report is based on ARC’s industry-leading market research database, extensive primary and secondary research, and proprietary economic modelling techniques.

“The ERP market in manufacturing is being driven by globalization, tighter government regulations on quality and safety, and technological advancements like SaaS deployment models, cloud computing, mobile computing, and the Industrial Internet of Things (IIoT).   Globalization has more developing countries opening up manufacturing for export to the developed countries, and this in turn is driving the developed countries to implement and enforce tighter regulations on quality and safety in the products they import.  All this provides a plethora of opportunities for the ERP suppliers who have the foresight to attack these opportunities with long reaching strategies,” according to Steve Clouther, the principal author of ARC’s “ERP in Manufacturing Global Market Research Study”.

​Keywords:  Enterprise Manufacturing Intelligence (EMI), Operational Intelligence, Intelligence, Infrastructure, Analytics, Visualization, Selection Criteria

Today’s pressing need for better understanding of and visibility into their businesses is generating significant interest in modern enterprise manufacturing intelligence (EMI) software solutions within the manufacturing community.  There are a large number of suppliers providing specialized, often niche solutions in this space.  ARC Advisory Group’s new technology evaluation and selection guide was designed to enable users to make more informed, unbiased, and fact-based EMI technology and supplier selection decisions.

The use of newer technologies, including new investigative tools, new infrastructures, improved analytic tools, and visualization dashboards can offer significant benefits to end users; but only if they select the correct technology from a supplier that understands their specific industry and business processes.

Users Should Consider New Disruptive Technologies
“The complexity of today’s manufacturing environment requires engineers, operators, and managers use different applications, dashboards, and performance measures.  New technologies are being integrated into modern EMI solutions that are more intuitive and match the application experience to the user’s persona with IoT-enabled Big Data, analytics, and visualization capabilities,” commented Principal Consultant Janice Abel, the principal author of ARC’s Enterprise Manufacturing Operational Intelligence Technology Evaluation and Selection Guide.

Selection Criteria Address Business Needs
ARC’s EMI technology evaluation and selection guide includes selection criteria for the key functions and associated business requirements.  The EMI market is diverse, spanning different functionalities and capabilities.  These range from infrastructure for integrating manufacturing and operational data, to search capabilities, analytics tools, and dashboards.  The selection guide explores user objectives, technical selection criteria, and applications with information about best practices, market trends, supplier industry segments, and geographic regions.

The guide will help users select the appropriate EMI functions needed, assess integration functionalities, understand best technology practices, and learn what new and future functionalities they should consider.  This guide contains advice, functional descriptions, regional information, user practices, specific selection criteria, and supplier profiles to help team members find common ground with lower risk and faster time to benefit.
