Introduction

Advisory Group is conducting this survey to allow you to Benchmark your digital transformation as it applies to your Manufacturing Execution Systems Technology Journey with your peers. Industrial manufacturers are entering a period in which new digital technologies have the potential to augment people and processes to an unprecedented degree. New, Manufacturing Execution Systems (MES) and Manufacturing Operations Management (MOM) include functionality that is embedded or integrated to other advanced digital technologies such as Machine Learning (ML), Artificial Intelligence (AI), Augmented and Virtual Reality (AR/VR), robotics, digital twins, new Integration Platforms that use cybersecurity and standards, edge, Cloud and other IIoT enabled sensors and are changing how people work in the industry.  MES maturity is based your plant/company's enterprise-wide usage of modern MES technologies.  Privacy: Your privacy is assured and your identity will not be released to others. Your responses and the responses of your peers (in aggregate) will be included in in the report you will receive for taking this survey.  If you have questions about the survey, please contact us. The survey is focused on MES technology..  We will email you a copy of the survey if you provide your email address. Thank you.
