When the first Manufacturing Execution Systems (MES) hit the market more than a decade ago, they were a good idea whose time had not come. While they promised great efficiency and quality improvements, MES systems were too immature and expensive to make good economic sense. Today, MES solutions are the difference between manufacturers who will prosper in the near future, and those who won't. As market dynamics continue shifting toward shorter product lifecycles, smaller production runs, greater emphasis on quality and more complicated regulatory requirements, only automated data collection and processing in a proactively managed continuous-availability environment offers the management agility manufacturers need to survive.
