There is a debate brewing about wether ERP or the large automation/software vendors like Rockwell, GE Fanuc, Siemens, and Wonderware are going to “win” in the MES space.
I would be curious to hear what everyone thinks about this?
It is great to be involved in the January meeting of the ISA S95 committee hosted by Charlie Gifford in Hailey, Idaho. There are some great people involved with this standard development including the attendees for this meeting:
