Unlike the monolithic architecture of traditional MES platforms, app-based architectures are composable and allow for significantly greater flexibility in building solutions that fit the unique requirements of your production process.
Here are some common patterns of app-based architectures that can be rapidly developed and deployed to solve problems in your operations:
Compared to the monolithic approach, an app-based, composable solution enables:
Flexibility and Customization: Rather than trying to shoehorn your process to conform to your MES solution, a composable, app-based approach allows you to build apps tailored to the unique needs of your operations.
Reduced Risk and Cost: Composable solutions allow you to incrementally deploy new solutions and technologies without the need for a large upfront investment or a complete replacement of existing systems.
Future-Proofness: A composable architecture makes vendor lock-in a thing of the past by enabling interoperability with any tools, enterprise systems, etc. that support open protocols and standards like REST, SOAP, SQL, and more.
Continuous Improvement: An app-based approach allows for components of your solution to be easily added, updated, and replaced at will — unlike monolithic solutions characterized by periodic, large-scale updates.
