Siemens AG

Siemens' manufacturing operations management portfolio, from MES to cloud QMS

Overview

Opcenter is Siemens’ manufacturing operations management (MOM) portfolio, which Siemens presents as connecting product development with production[1]. It is the broadest MES offering in this list because it spans several separately licensable products rather than a single application.

Opcenter Execution is the MES, described for process-manufactured products with a focus on quality. Opcenter APS handles production planning and scheduling; X Quality is a cloud quality management system covering quality planning, control and monitoring; RD&L supports research, development and laboratory work for formulated products; Intelligence provides production analytics; Intra Plant Logistics manages material flow from warehouse to shop floor; and X Intosite is a cloud digital twin with 3D visualisation. Opcenter X is a software-as-a-service MES for smaller manufacturers[1]. Siemens cites a project with The Absolut Company on fully automated production lines[1].

Because the portfolio is positioned to connect product development with production[1], it suits manufacturers already using other Siemens industrial software. Its breadth also means implementations are complex and prices are not published. Smaller plants can start with Opcenter X instead of the full on-premises portfolio.
