When you upgrade to Solumina iSeries, you’ll enjoy a larger feature set, enhanced connectivity and integration, a flexible user experience, faster upgrades, and ultimately, accelerated digital transformation.

The model-based journey begins with the transition to paperless operations, which for manufacturers means an MES platform for the factory. While it’s only the first step on the journey, MES improves your business in many ways.

While the benefits of adoption are understood, a 2023 survey found that 55% of respondents did not have a clear understanding of the model-based enterprise.

This external view of digital continuity is valid, but there are also many internal benefits. When product and process designers collaborate, you not only see productivity gains, but also quality improvements and potentially sustainability improvements. 

PLM-MES integration is one of the fundamental steps on the path to smart factories, digital threads, and the Model-based Enterprise. Once MES and PLM are tightly linked, big things can happen.

You can even use your MBE infrastructure to create a digital thread that records every event and change that takes place with a product. The digital thread is the sum of all data digitally linked to form a single, contiguous definition of all value-added decisions.

Based on a survey of 250 discrete manufacturers, new research establishes a "state of the market" for MBE adoption. In addition, it identifies best practices and considerations to help manufacturers progress to higher maturity levels during their MBE adoption journey.

Today’s digital transformation has amplified the perennial debate as to where an eBOM and mBOM should be created, utilized, and maintained?

The path to a digitally connected Model-based Enterprise is a bit of a bumpy dirt road today, but we are starting to see more sections paved
