An MES integrates the data with enterprise resource planning (ERP) systems so that management has complete control of  Landscape (Technology Focus) to their offering.

, yet still holds significant opportunities for revenues. Vendors will need to refine their acquisition, product and go-to-market strategies in order to maximize their success in this market.

Scope of this title:

Looks at both MES technology and newer manufacturing intelligence (MI) solutions. Provides revenue forecasts for the global MES market in 16 different industries.

Highlights of this title:

The imperative for traditional MES vendors in this situation is clear build better MI capabilities. These vendors will have an inherent advantage when it comes to developing MI functionality given the data capture abilities of core MES technology, however they will need to make up the ground the MI vendors have already made.

Reasons to order your copy:

Understand our take on the rapidly evolving MES market. Assess the revenue opportunity for MES technology in key industries and regions.

SUMMARY

ANALYSIS

MES technology is evolving towards manufacturing intelligence

A shift towards more intelligence-driven data is driving technology development

There still exists demand for traditional MES, particularly around execution

Those vendors focusing on traditional MES will need to develop MI functionality

MI vendors need to differentiate differentiate /dif·fer·en·ti·ate/ (dif?er-en´she-at)
1. to distinguish, on the basis of differences.

2. to develop specialized form, character, or function differing from that surrounding it or from the original.

Services vendors should seek out traditional MES vendors with a focus on MI

Manufacturers are looking for Looking for

 greater visibility and more advanced analytics

Traditional MES vendors need to focus on creating better MI capabilities to compete

Innovation should be a key strategy for MI vendors

Services vendors with skills around BI have an inherent advantage

MES investment is becoming a more corporate initiative

Vendors will need to target their go-to-market strategies accordingly

Competitive dynamics are changing rapidly

Three key vendor types play in the MES and MI market

Automation vendors are strong in traditional execution-driven MES

Pure-plays are doing surprisingly well in the MES and MI market

Enterprise apps vendors are starting to push down, but with mixed MI or MES strategies

Services vendors need to choose their options wisely

Industry focus is still a strong differentiator Dif`fer`en´ti`a`tor

Acquisition is a must for strong growth in this market

Acquiring to enter an industry carries a relatively high risk level

Geographical acquisition should be a low priority

Technology acquisition can be a rewarding strategy

The traditional MES market is set to experience strong growth

The global MES market will more than double by 2012

North America North America, third largest continent (1990 est. pop. 365,000,000), c.9,400,000 sq mi (24,346,000 sq km), the northern of the two continents of the Western Hemisphere.  is the largest region for MES investment

Batch manufacturers are outspending both process and discrete A component or device that is separate and distinct and treated as a singular unit.  companies

The semiconductor industry is the largest among the discrete industries for MES investment

A focus on regulation is making the pharmaceutical industry the largest batch industry

Chemical and oil & gas manufacturing form the bulk of the process industry
