Most MES programs are stuck at pilot scale, and that’s now an AI and cyber risk decision

Most MES programs are stuck at pilot scale, and that’s now an AI and cyber risk decision

A significant number of manufacturers have adopted Manufacturing Execution Systems (MES) but the majority are only in the pilot stage. According to Rockwell, 93% of these manufacturers implement MES, yet only 23% have achieved full integration across all sites, potentially increasing AI and cybersecurity risks. The operational gap between those who have fully integrated MES and those who haven't continues to grow.

  • 0193% of manufacturers have adopted MES technology.
  • 02Only 23% of manufacturers have fully integrated MES across all sites.
  • 03The lack of full MES integration may elevate AI and cybersecurity risks.

Community college engineering programs can lift persistence by 16 points, but state funding swings are becoming an operational risk for employers

Community college engineering programs can lift persistence by 16 points, but state funding swings are becoming an operational risk for employers

Community college engineering programs have shown a significant improvement in student persistence, with a reported 16-point increase. However, fluctuations in state funding, as evidenced by North Carolina's budget cuts, pose a risk to this progress. These budgetary changes can affect the stability and operational efficiency of such educational programs.

  • 01Community college engineering programs can increase student persistence by 16 points.
  • 02State funding swings, like North Carolina's budget cuts, are an operational risk for educational programs.
  • 0315 campuses reported enrollment and persistence gains in their engineering pathways.
