93% of manufacturers have MES, but only 23% have fully integrated it across the enterprise

A survey by Rockwell Automation highlighted that while 93% of manufacturers have adopted manufacturing execution systems (MES), only 23% have managed to fully integrate these systems across their enterprises. This lack of full integration limits the potential benefits of artificial intelligence and operational improvements. The findings reveal a significant integration gap that many manufacturers need to address to harness complete AI and operational value.
