In a recent Automation World podcast, Ben Stewart, the global digital strategy lead at Rockwell Automation, discussed the influence of advanced automation on manufacturing execution systems (MES). He highlighted how industrial enterprises are shifting from point solutions to more integrated and standardized MES strategies, aiming for quicker deployments and enhanced connectivity.
This evolution in MES is significant as companies seek to unify their systems across various locations while ensuring stability and security. Stewart emphasized the growing demand from clients for the ability to connect all devices and leverage cloud capabilities, which is reshaping the landscape of manufacturing operations.
Looking ahead, the conversation also touched on the changes in MES strategies since the publication of Stewart's book, "MES for Dummies." No further timeline was disclosed at the time of publication.
