Why Should Manufacturers Consider a Cloud- based Manufacturing Execution System (MES)?

By Mekala S Rao

New  Product Introductions (NPI) have  helped  fuel technological advancement  in  the   manufacturing industry.   As  the  market for  high-quality  compliant products with higher throughputs expands, manufacturers  have   had   to   work   with   reduced margins to keep pace. As a result, manufacturers now depend more   heavily  on  Manufacturing  Execution Systems (MES).

MES  systems  are   difficult  to  evaluate,  and   have been   expensive  to  own  and  maintain. Due  to  the ever-evolving  nature  of  the  IT  landscape and   the technological components involved in MES platforms, it’s often  difficult for manufacturers to see  adequate ROI. Additionally, the  shortage of  skilled  resources necessary to enhance MES applications and business functionalities in an efficient  and  timely manner has burdened manufacturers of all sizes.

This  white  paper   addresses  the   MES  forces and paper-based  processes   that    are   contributing to manufacturing   operations’  loss   of   flexibility  and time-sensitive market  innovations. Atachi  Systems has  proposed how  manufacturers can  leverage the latest disruptive  IT technologies (Cloud, SAP HANA) available in today’s economy.
