AVEVA LAUNCHES NEW VERSION OF MANUFACTURING EXECUTION SYSTEM SOFTWARE

AVEVA announced the release of AVEVA Manufacturing Execution System 2023, which offers to cut the costs and complexities of multi-site Manufacturing Execution System (MES) solutions.

The latest version of AVEVA Manufacturing Execution System (MES) will help standardise and introduce best practice more quickly and at scale which in turn will improve operational efficiency and sustainability. The new AVEVA Manufacturing Execution System 2023 also promotes increased supply chain resilience and agility with unified visibility, reporting and KPIs across multi-site operations.

Traditionally, MES solutions have indicators of an organisation that does not view security risk management as critical to business success. Organisations of this type are likely to experience higher attrition as talent leaves for roles where their impact is felt and valued.

“Burnout and voluntary attrition are outcomes of poor organisational culture,” said Gopal. “While eliminating stress is an unrealistic goal, people can manage incredibly challenging and stressful jobs in cultures where they’re supported.

Gartner predicts that by 2025, lack of talent or human failure will be responsible for over half of significant cyber incidents. The number of cyber and social engineering attacks against people is spiking as threat actors increasingly see humans as the most vulnerable point of exploitation.

A Gartner survey conducted in May and June 2022 among 1,310 employees revealed that 69% of employees have bypassed their organisation’s cybersecurity guidance in the past 12 months. In the survey, 74% of employees said they would be willing to bypass cybersecurity guidance if it helped them or their team achieve a business objective. been used locally in plants – requiring robust individual IT infrastructure and systems – significantly increasing total cost of ownership. The new update will provide support for multi-site solutions with a single MES centrally deployed in a corporate data centre.

“Friction that slows down employees and leads to insecure behavior is a significant driver of insider risk,” said Paul Furtado, VP Analyst, Gartner.

To confront this rising threat, Gartner predicts that half of medium to large enterprises will adopt formal programmes to manage insider risk by 2025, up from 10% today.

The new release embraces worker shift management and includes security enhancements to support multi-site MES data centre deployments across different time zones, languages and cultures.

Automated production processes and Industrial Internet of Things (IIoT) devices are connected with a small footprint of computing assets that collect data “at the edge” of each plant and send it to the central MES.

Keith Chambers, Vice President Operations Management Software, AVEVA, said: “Amid a backdrop of continued disruption and rising costs, our customers are under pressure to close the business to plant collaboration gap, and improve the efficiency of their manufacturing networks.

“The new AVEVA Manufacturing Execution System 2023 release enables the business to drive digital transformation simultaneously and consistently across multiple connected plants. It will provide a single version of the truth and promote agile supply chain management. In the postpandemic era, manufacturers’ success will be defined by their ability to be agile and resilient in the face of change.”
