Siemens named a leader in IDC MarketScape’s 2024-2025 Worldwide Manufacturing Execution Systems Vendor Assessment

The evolving landscape of Manufacturing Execution Systems (MES)

To coordinate with evolving value chains, manufacturing execution systems (MES) need seamless integration with enterprise applications for full visibility. Innovations like cloud computing, edge analytics, IIoT and AI are shaping MES development.

There’s a shift towards cloud solutions for greater flexibility and scalability, along with an emphasis on user-friendly features like low code/no code and plug-and-play. Additionally, MES is increasingly used to support energy management and sustainability efforts as companies focus on these priorities.

“As innovative concepts continue to surface, choosing a vendor committed to long-term innovation while fulfilling business demands is vital. With a wide array of solutions available, it is essential to select an MES that caters to the specific characteristics of production processes and industries, can be deployed swiftly for immediate benefits, and is designed to remain relevant in the future.” — Lorenzo Veronesi, Associate Research Director, Manufacturing Insights, IDC

Siemens Xcelerator: A comprehensive manufacturing operations solution

In the race towards better, faster, cheaper manufacturing, a new paradigm has emerged. Today, instead of asking the production team to adapt to new technologies, manufacturing companies seek powerful technologies that adapt to the needs of their teams. A manufacturing execution system that offers rich functionality and a flexible user experience promises to bring an entirely new level of agility and productivity to their shop floor.

As a key component of the Siemens Xcelerator platform, Opcenter provides a comprehensive end-to-end manufacturing operations solution that easily integrates with other complementary Siemens solutions. Our strategy focuses on seamless integration with our product lifecycle management and automation technologies to ensure the highest quality products are manufactured cost-effectively and efficiently.

Driving innovation and reducing Total Cost of Ownership (TCO) with Opcenter

With our rich MES portfolio, we empower manufacturers to thrive in the digital enterprise, supporting both life-changing and life-sustaining product development. We also offer flexibility in supporting various deployment scenarios, whether it’s single-site or enterprise-based, on-premises or cloud-based. Our commitment to innovation is evident through the six main pillars that drive our journey towards excellence:

  1. Reducing the total cost of ownership for applications.
  2. Improving application performance by infusing artificial intelligence.
  3. Supporting streamlined upgrades with zero downtime.
  4. Simplifying deployment and application management.
  5. Enhancing scalability, performance, and user experience.
  6. Optimizing uptime and reducing deployment costs, while improving portfolio integrations and observability.

The adoption of MENDIX low-code technology brings a significant reduction in total cost of ownership by accelerating the speed and efficiency of building user interfaces 50% faster than before.

Empowering SMBs with Opcenter X

Opcenter MES solutions support multi-plant architectures, reducing the burden on regional IT teams and the overall Total Cost of Ownership (TCO). It seamlessly integrates with Teamcenter, Simcenter, Insights Hub (data analytics), Teamcenter Quality Management System, AX4 and Supply Chain Suite, and Tecnomatix.

Additionally, in today’s fast-paced and disruptive business environment, digital transformation has become essential for small- and medium-sized businesses (SMBs) in the manufacturing industry. To address the growing complexity of product and process management, disruptive technologies, supply chain volatility, and tightening margins, SMBs need a new approach to manufacturing operations management (MOM). With Opcenter X Siemens empowers SMBs to embark on a stepwise digital transformation journey.

Opcenter X, built with cloud technologies and offered as software as a service (SaaS), lowers the time and cost barriers for SMBs to adopt MOM capabilities. Its modular approach allows companies to start small and scale up as their digital enterprise matures. By connecting and adapting modules, SMBs can achieve rapid return on investment (ROI) while benefiting from reduced time-to-market, ease of use, flexibility and up-to-date functionality.

Siemens’ commitment to MES excellence

Siemens continuously strives to provide the best MES value, which means we keep working to enhance the core capabilities of our Opcenter OOTB solutions. Beyond the solutions, we also seek opportunities to lower the total cost of ownership of Opcenter, and then we rapidly make those capabilities available to customers.

To delve deeper into these concepts, we invite you to download the IDC MarketScape: Worldwide Manufacturing Execution Systems 2024–2025 Vendor Assessment and discover how Siemens became a leader in MES, driving the future of manufacturing operations management.
