TechNavio recognizes the following companies as the key players in the Global MES Market: GE Co., Invensys plc, Rockwell Automation Inc., and Siemens AG.
Commenting on the report, an analyst from TechNavio’s team said: “Web-based MES software provides complete real-time information from production plants. A web-based MES integrates with various production plants at the shop floor level and shares the information gathered through a common database. With web-based MES, customers get many advantages and benefits such as cost-effective solutions and support, increased efficiency, lower operating expenses, and a lower level of complexity. Thus, it helps improve the decision-making system and reduces the overall total cost of ownership. Therefore, the cost-effective web-based MES solution is expected to enhance the market potential for many cost-sensitive industries during the forecast period. ”
According to the report, one of the major drivers is the need to improve decision-making systems. An MES provides better control and visibility of the entire production plant and also integrates various manufacturing operations such as production planning, scheduling, order processing, inventory management, and bill of materials, which attracts manufacturing companies to adopt MES solutions.
