As a cloud aggregator, Cloud28+ has significantly grown the number of partners (service providers, system integrators, ISVs, distributors, solution providers and so forth) who can use it for enterprise apps.Īccording to the press release about the launch of Express App Platform – Manufacturing, Cloud28+ today counts about 600 in 56 countries who are good for over 21,000 ‘build and consume’ services.Īs mentioned, from a manufacturing perspective today most are about operations and from an IoT perspective often about predictive maintenance and condition monitoring (you can check out all the services on Cloud28+ on its dedicated website). So, enabling all this in an easier way and thus accelerating digital factory transformation as HPE puts is the reason why it launched on-premises solution Express App Platform – Manufacturing.Īs said, Express App Platform – Manufacturing is integrated with HPE’s Cloud28+ enterprise app center. The place of the MES and the ERP in the vertical integration perspective of Industry 4.0Įxpress App Platform – Manufacturing aims to make the deployment of and integration of next generation manufacturing execution systems easier using the tools in the cloud app store for manufacturing.

Other examples of applications include MOM (Manufacturing Operations Management), PLM (Product Lifecycle Management), APS (Advanced Planning and Scheduling), WMS (Warehouse Management Systems) and of course CRM. Examples of such systems to integrate with: ERP, which sits on the enterprise planning level while the MES sits on the operations level as the illustration on vertical integration from our Industry 4.0 page below shows.

Moreover, integration of the more modern MES, a market in full flux in these days of Industrial IoT, with several legacy systems in a context of factories isn’t easy either.

As HPE says in the announcement of ‘Express App Platform – Manufacturing’, Manufacturing Execution Systems (MESs) are often complex and difficult to modernize. However, digitization of manufacturing processes obviously isn’t a walk in the park. It’s one of the reasons why IoT investments and spending in manufacturing is highest of all industries, why digital transformation in manufacturing is high on the agenda to begin with, why the attention for the Industry 4.0 vision and reference architecture model (although that’s about more than manufacturing process digitization) has increased a lot and why Industrial Internet gets all the attention (the Industrial Internet Consortium is one of the key industrial Internet association partners of IoT Solutions World Congress 2017). The digitization of manufacturing processes offers ample benefits in the several goals of digital transformation in manufacturing. Tackling the challenges in digitizing manufacturing processes and integrating manufacturing systems
