Tech-Clarity research shows why AI needs a strong manufacturing execution system (MES) foundation to deliver results on the plant floor
AI is getting the attention, but it cannot deliver on its own. Tech-Clarity surveyed 415 manufacturing professionals to find out what is working on the plant floor. The answer is both: manufacturing operations software (MOS), including MES, and AI working together.
In this eBook, you will learn:
- Why 72% of surveyed manufacturers already use MES, manufacturing operations management (MOM), or MOS, and why most of the rest plan to
- Which benefits show up first, and why they typically arrive within 12 months
- How MES supplies the structured, in-context data AI needs to move beyond pilots
- What Top Performers do differently, from standardizing across plants to setting up a center of excellence (CoE)
- Where AI is delivering value today, and why most manufacturers keep people in the loop
