A recent Aberdeen Group survey has found that customers using Wonderware software solutions performed significantly better in their businesses than users of other manufacturing intelligence software in a number of critical manufacturing areas.  The results on Wonderware, a business unit of Invensys, were compiled in the latest Aberdeen Group Benchmark Report on Manufacturing Intelligence.

“Wonderware customers continue to be among the strategy and performance benchmark leaders across many of our manufacturing marketplace research projects,” said Maura Buxton, research analyst and manufacturing director of data analytics at Aberdeen Group.  “As the research analyst on this project, it is clear to me that Wonderware customers are achieving superior results from their manufacturing intelligence software implementations.”

This latest Aberdeen Group research project surveyed more than 500 customers across a wide range of manufacturing industries.  The report focused on how companies are using real-time manufacturing information from across their manufacturing and IT systems to provide decision support in the pursuit of operational excellence. 

It compares the strategies and results of what “best-in-class” companies are doing in comparison to other manufacturing organizations.  Specific areas where Wonderware customers are outperforming other companies as well as other best-in-class companies surveyed, include customer service improvements, yield improvements and throughput improvements. 

Survey comparisons of the results achieved after manufacturing intelligence software implementations were completed include:

• Customer Service Improvement: Wonderware Customers +14 percent, vs. best in class +3 percent.

• Yield Improvement: Wonderware Customers +12 percent, vs. best in class +4 percent.

• Throughput Improvement: Wonderware Customers +8 percent, vs. best in class +2 percent. 

“The results of this extensive survey are very gratifying because Wonderware’s primary focus is on software excellence that enables its customers to drive operational excellence in their businesses,” said Mark Davidson, vice president of global marketing at Wonderware.

With the introduction of the new Wonderware System Platform and the new Equipment Operations and Equipment Performance Modules from Wonderware, this kind of 3rd party validation will only continue to climb.

These new tools provide customers with a  common strategic platform for all networked supervisory HMI, SCADA, production management (MES) and performance management (manufacturing intelligence) solutions.  Never before have companies been able to so easily align their overall strategic goals with the reality of the manufacturing floor to drive operational excellence within their organizations.
