How far have manufacturers progressed in connecting the digital thread across engineering and manufacturing? Earlier this year we surveyed over 200 manufacturers and found that they are pursuing PLM-MES integration for two primary reasons; improving time-to-market and product quality. The research showed other goals as well, including supporting AI initiatives. But the data also uncovered a wide variety of PLM-MES integration maturity and showed that most manufacturers, even larger more advanced ones, have room for improvement in integrating their digital threads.  

Recently, we had the opportunity to sit down with two experienced Kalypso consultants to discuss the results and learn from their experience. In the webinar, Jim Brown shares his research and leads a discussion with Kalypso’s Howard Schmillor and Cameron Carr. 

Watch the webinar replay now or visit the related Kalypso research page for the webinar, Tech-Clarity report, and more information about PLM-MES integration.
