Report Published: "MES Market in North America 2015-2019"

MES is a control system that helps manage and monitor operations on a plant floor. It tracks the entire manufacturing process end to end, from the transformation of raw materials to the final finished product. MES uses real time data from machines, robots, and employees. For better performance and information flow across the organization, companies are integrating MES with ERP. This allows organizations to improve efficiency by performing operations, such as operation scheduling, lot tracking, resource allocation and control, plant maintenance, labor planning, data acquisition and collection, quality assurance, and process control. MES acts as a communication system between the various parts of a plant and also provides an enterprise-wide record system.

Technavio analysts forecast the MES market in North America to grow at a CAGR of 11.42% during 2014-2019.

Commenting on the report, an analyst from Technavio's team said: "The oil and mineral rich country along with its low-cost labor is attracting foreign players to invest over there. The Government of Mexico has increased FDI in several sectors to accelerate the industrial activity in the country. Thus, the rising manufacturing activities in Mexico will result in increased demand for MES solutions."

According to the report, the economic recovery in the country has boosted consumer confidence, resulting in the purchase of new vehicles by first time buyers and also replacement of old vehicles by pre-existing customers.
