To be successful in modern discrete manufacturing, integrated operations based- systems, MOM/MES, needs to be built within Industrial Transformation (IX), rather than simply place IX initiatives superficially around them. The real benefits will start to accrue when IX architecture supports manufacturing data, including everything that is required by manufacturing operations. Moreover, Industrial Transformation (IX) has become commonplace across batch manufacturing industries. The success or stagnation/failure of IX programs in the discrete and batch industries are increasingly tied to the adoption of general and industry specific best practices. Discrete and Batch Roundtable IX Event 2021 In this Roundtable, led by LNS Research Principal Analyst Tom Comstock, we explore: • The state of IX in discrete and batch manufacturing. • Where MES fits within IX and the challenges associated with deploying MES in IX • The seven lives of MOM as a vision into the future of MOM architecture. • How to incorporate MOM/MES into your Industrial Transformation (IX) journey. • The keys to success or failure in Industrial Transformation (IX) in both discrete and batch manufacturing.
