MES is emerging as a superior product for flexible and integrated production. An MES combines all the properties required for modern production management in a comprehensive software system. This system is the basic and operational platform for all the enterprises evolving towards the digital factory of the future.

MES solutions are increasingly used and recognized in the process manufacturing and discrete manufacturing industries. This trend is accelerated by the ongoing economic globalization that requires maximized competitiveness.

The report deals with the current scenario of the MES market. The MES market is changing its phase from introduction to growth. Though MES was introduced in 1990, it took many years to launch it for commercial purposes. The features such as the increasing awareness about the benefits of MES, high productivity at reduced cost, and overall improvement in the process capability of the manufacturing unit increased the acceptability of MES among the customers. MES market is expected to have a sustainable growth for more than five years.

The MES market was estimated to be worth $4.7 billion in 2011 and to reach $8.9 billion by 2016 at a CAGR of 13.6% from 2011 to 2016.

Manufacturing units have shifted to China and India to get the benefit of lower labor wages, but these days labor cost is increasing, so there is a huge need for a system to tackle this problem. Thus, the demand for the MES system is very high in these countries to change the operations from manual to system oriented.

Another reason for the growth of the MES market in these nations is the increase in the number of manufacturing plants of various industries such as automotive, textiles, power, pharmaceuticals where the MES solutions are highly in use.

In APAC, China and India are considered to be the growth engines for the MES market. They are also carving a niche for themselves across the globe.

Major MES developers are Invensys (U.K.), iBASEt (U.S.), Apriso (U.S.), Operator System (Denmark), Werum (Germany), SAP AG (Germany), Oracle (U.S.), etc.

System integrators also offer MES, either by developing in-house or by procuring from MES developers. The major system integrators are Siemens AG (Germany), ABB (Switzerland), Rockwell (U.S.), GE Corporation (U.S.), Emerson Process Management (U.S.), Honeywell (U.S.), Omron (Japan).

The role of information technology has increased significantly in the manufacturing. Manufacturing Execution System (MES) is the best example of it; MES are typically implemented to improve productivity, follow regulations, reduce shipping time, and cut down the manual dependency of processing data. MES connects the machine level operations to the Enterprise Resource Planning (EPR), so it can be controlled centrally.

The Manufacturing Execution System (MES) market is segmented on the basis of products geography, and applications. The market on the basis of products is segmented into different types of functions such as inventory management, performance analysis, quality analysis, document control, data collection and acquisition, resource allocation and status, production and dispatch, overall equipment effectiveness. The application market is segmented into two major applications: process and discrete manufacturing industries. The geography segment covers the four major regions: North America, Europe, APAC, and ROW.

In the early 1980s MES concepts originated from data collection systems. Wide varieties of systems arose using collected data for a dedicated purpose. Further development of these systems during the 1990s introduced overlap in functionality. Then the Manufacturing Enterprise Solutions Association (MESA) introduced some structure by defining 11 functions that set the scope of MES. Early 2000 the ANSI/ISA-95 standard merged this model with the Purdue Reference Model (PRM). A functional hierarchy was defined in which MES were situated at level 3 between ERP at level 4 and process control at levels 0,1,2. Activities in level 3 were divided over four main operations: Production, Quality, Logistics and Maintenance. Additional parts of the ANSI/ISA-95 standard defined the architecture of an MES into more detail, covering how to internally distribute functionality and what information to exchange internally as well as externally.

Most MES systems include connectivity as part of their product offering. Direct communication of plant floor equipment data is established by connecting to the Programmable logic controllers (PLC). Often, plant floor data is first collected and diagnosed for real-time control in a Distributed control system (DCS) or Supervisory Control and Data Acquisition (SCADA) system. In this case, the MES systems connect to these Level 2 systems for exchanging plant floor data. The industry standard for plant floor connectivity is OLE for process control (OPC).
