COLLABORATIVE PRODUCTION MANAGEMENT - CPM returns to the forefront

摘要

CPM helps users drive innovation to get products to market quicker. COLLABORATIVE Production Management (CPM) is one of the hottest automation investment spaces in today's process industries. After a couple of tumultuous years, companies once again are ramping up spending in CPM solutions. According to recent ARC research, the CPM for the process industries market is especially hot in Australia. While global revenues for software and services in this category grew by approximately 15 percent worldwide in 2010 compared to the previous year, revenues grew by more than 30 percent in Australia for the same period. And while shipments to the mining industry remained traditionally strong, our research indicated a real upsurge in shipments to both the oil & gas and electric power segments in Australia.
