AVEVA’s competitive advantage and customer-centric approach highlighted as key factors for Frost & Sullivan’s Award selection.

Global industrial software leader AVEVA was recently awarded for its Manufacturing Execution System (MES) for Food and Beverage indsutry. The recognition was conferred with the Frost and Sullivan Product Leadership Award.

The company offers a model driven MES solution that combines the traditional advantages of an MES with a new digital workflow management approach to integrate people, processes, and businesses. AVEVA was also given recognition for delivering enhanced efficiency, capturing work procedures in digital workflows and relevant user experience models in contrast to competitors in this space that provide only standalone MES software.

The unique selling point of AVEVA’s MES is its out-of-the-box connectors for both plant and enterprise applications, which provide greater flexibility to customers in terms of integrating the MES into their entire business. While competitors’ platforms are designed to integrate only with their proprietary systems, the AVEVA System Platform is vendor-agnostic, working with any competitor’s programmable logic controller (PLC), remote terminal unit (RTU), programmable automation controllers, IIoT devices and general IT applications.

The MES benefits customers by reducing operating costs, increasing productivity and yield, and shortening the decision time. Vendors who can offer a real-time, plant-wide platform that can be easily implemented in a wide-scale manner without causing any disruptions in existing operations will be best positioned to stay competitive in the dynamic MES market.

 

“AVEVA supports manufacturing execution capabilities with its agnostic system platform, bringing state-of-the-art technologies, such as edge, cloud, machine learning, OPC-UA and the InTouch operations management interface to drive operational agility, responsiveness, and collaboration” said Ram Ramaswamy, Global Client Leader at Frost & Sullivan. “The cloud is inevitable in today’s context, but it needs to co-exist with the edge. As customers start pivoting from site-level monitoring to fleet-level monitoring, the thirst for centralized applications has become unquenchable. Driven by forces such as an ageing workforce, resource efficiency requirements, and value-chain collaboration, AVEVA Connect brings together cross-functional teams, assets, and an end-to-end (E2E) view of the operations landscape.”
