As manufacturers push beyond “Industry 4.0” hype and fragmented point solutions, the next evolution of plant and operations technology is taking shape: the Intelligent Supply Network (ISN). In this LNS Research eBook, Plant and Operations Software in 2026: Industrial Supply Networks Building on MOM, we break down what ISN really means in practice and why the companies leading these initiatives are pulling away from the pack.   Based on a global survey of 300+ industrial leaders, the research shows ISN Leaders are twice as likely to significantly outperform operational targets, and they’re approaching plant software with a fundamentally different mindset. Rather than treating MES/MOM as a reporting tool or a system of record, ISN Leaders are building a System of Intelligence/Action, a new architectural layer that accelerates decision-making, enables innovation, and reduces “integration fatigue.”     You’ll gain practical insight into:   What separates ISN Leaders from Followers and why it goes far beyond cost cutting How MES/MOM is evolving into a “Monument System” for modern operations strategy Why Leaders prioritize business value and plant-level adoption over forced standardization The role of AI, data hubs, and multi-modal architectures in enabling real-time action Practical recommendations for COOs and operations leaders to start (or reset) their ISN initiative now   If your operations technology roadmap still centers on disconnected applications, slow financial feedback loops, or integration-heavy strategies, this eBook provides the blueprint for what’s next and how to lead it.   Download the full eBook now to learn how ISN Leaders are building the future of plant and operations software.
