Leaders in an organization need to take the initiative when it comes to digital transformation and MES selection.

MES template helps to standardize processes and embrace best practices where applicable, while still accommodating local customization for the unique needs of each factory.

This article addresses the cost of quality in the industry and the role played by the MES platform in helping reduce these costs.

Digitisation makes operations more efficient, reduce errors and frees up time. Going paperless is the way forward and the MES you choose may prove to be a game-changer.

Center of Excellence (CoE) carries out fundamental roles in a global MES implementation, enabling the coordination and alignment between MES implementations at all sites.

Predictive quality can prevent possible defects and can help predict recalls by combining AI, advanced analytics, design, production, supply-chain, and field data.

From preparation, through creation of template and deployment across sites, to final handover and ongoing support – to ensure a smooth project, each stage needs to be carefully planned.

An MES is a foundation of digital transformation initiatives. Gartner Magic Quadrant can help manufacturers define their MES needs along with which products and solutions are best aligned to them.

The benefits of having a cloud-based MES include reduced HW and SW infrastructure cost, automation of validation activities, and better change control preventing re-validation efforts.
