MES as a Core Innovation Target

A manufacturing execution system (MES) cannot be an afterthought; rather, it must be a core piece of factory innovation programs.

In this Analyst Connection report, Lorenzo Veronesi, Associate Research Director at IDC Manufacturing Insights, answers questions on MES and its benefits.

As manufacturers across the globe, enterprise or small and medium businesses, are adopting a digital transformation strategy to accelerate decision velocity, they struggle with some key decisions as it relates to the use and expansion of their Manufacturing Execution Systems (MES): Integration with other key applications, 100% cloud or hybrid, isolated or part of a comprehensive digital twin, etc. In this report, Veronesi addresses these issues and more.
