AVEVA, a global leader in industrial software, driving digital transformation and sustainability, announced that it has been positioned by Gartner as a Leader in the 2021 Magic Quadrant for Manufacturing Execution Systems (MES). 

The evaluation was based on specific criteria that analyzed the company’s overall completeness of vision and ability to execute. 

“The optimization and integration of both business planning and manufacturing execution into a single digital system represents the next step for manufacturers for growth and profitability. Manufacturing systems that enable a value chain, which is demand driven and dynamically optimized, are much needed and here to stay,” said Kim Custeau, Senior Vice President – APM and MES, AVEVA. 

According to Gartner, “Global MES solutions are a foundational building block of smart manufacturing strategies and digital business for manufacturers. Disruptive technologies and new providers are shaking things up. Supply chain technology leaders should use this research to select appropriate vendors and solutions.” 

AVEVA's model driven Manufacturing Execution System approach is uniquely positioned to accelerate the digital transformation of manufacturing operations by standardizing processes, best practices, KPIs and reporting across businesses for optimal regulatory compliance and transparency in plant and multi-site manufacturing operations. 

Combined with AVEVA's Edge to Enterprise solution, it allows for building a digital twin of the plant and the processes that helps to improve plant productivity and throughput by up to 5-10% as well as eliminate up to 25% of waste.
