The ‘IDC MarketScape: Worldwide Manufacturing Execution Systems 2024–2025 Vendor Assessment’ evaluates 18 MES providers serving the manufacturing industry. It uses both quantitative and qualitative measures to graphically place suppliers based on two dimensions:

  • “Capabilities”—Measuring the supplier’s product, go-to-market and short-term business execution.
  • “Strategies”—Measuring the supplier’s alignment with customer requirements in a 3-5 year time-frame.

The IDC MarketScape’s evaluation of Critical Manufacturing resulted in the Company’s position in the “Leaders” Category.

Francisco Almada Lobo, CEO and co-founder of Critical Manufacturing, says: “We believe that being named an MES Leader in the IDC MarketScape is a reflection of our commitment to delivering a solution that meets the needs of manufacturers both today and in the future. This company was formed to become leaders in the MES market, so to receive recognition from a premier global organization such as IDC underlines the strength of our product offering and the competitive advantage it delivers to manufacturers.”

According to the IDC MarketScape report, “Critical Manufacturing has consistently delivered rapid product updates, enhancing its fully containerized solution with a growing array of functional modules, applications, and configuration options. This evolution emphasizes advanced interactions such as augmented reality, bots, and voice recognition, alongside low-code capabilities, a robust data platform, and automation features, positioning it as one of the most sophisticated solutions available, with notable growth in both market presence and customer base.”

The IDC MarketScape evaluation continues: “Currently, Critical Manufacturing’s MOM suite encompasses the core MES along with various modules focused on quality/statistical process control (SPC), innovation management, cost analysis, visibility, data management, a digital twin of the factory, alarm management, augmented reality, and advanced planning and scheduling. To facilitate machine connectivity, the company offers an integration and automation suite tailored to the specific needs of its primary target industries. Additionally, Critical Manufacturing features a digital twin module, fabLIVE, which delivers a real-time 3D representation of the plant, enriched with contextual information through labels, colors, and charts.”

The report continued, “Organizations operating in the high-tech and embedded electronics space should consider Critical Manufacturing if they are looking for a partner that offers a specialized solution tailored to meet industry-specific needs at the highest standards.”
