Business Wire
Upcoming ISG Provider Lens™ report will
focus on providers working to help automotive, semiconductor and
other manufacturers transform their systems
Information Services Group (ISG) (Nasdaq: III), a leading global
technology research and advisory firm, has launched a research
study examining providers of technology services geared to the
manufacturing industry, including makers of connected cars and
semiconductors.
The study results will be published in a comprehensive ISG
Provider Lens™ report, called Manufacturing Industry
Services, scheduled to be released in November. The report will
track and analyze provider offerings around several elements of
manufacturing, from the intricacies of 3D simulation to shop floor
robotics.
The new report covers manufacturing technology providers that
lean heavily on automation, said Christian Decker, partner, ISG
Smart Manufacturing. “Many of these service providers have been
working extensively on shopfloor transformation and integrated
product development,” he said. “They are bringing together
electrical, electronic, mechanical, embedded and software
components with conventional mechanical, electronics and electrical
engineering.”
Enterprise buyers will be able to use information from the
report to evaluate their current vendor relationships, potential
new engagements and available offerings, while ISG advisors use the
information to recommend providers to the firm’s buy-side
clients.
All ISG Provider Lens evaluations now feature new and expanded
customer experience (CX) data that measures actual enterprise
experience with specific provider services and solutions, based on
ISG’s continuous CX research. Enterprise customers wishing to share
their experience about a specific provider or vendor are encouraged
to register here to receive a personalized survey URL. Participants
will receive a copy of this report in return for their
feedback.
ISG has distributed surveys to more than 100 manufacturing
technology service providers. Working in collaboration with ISG’s
global advisors, the research team will produce five quadrants
representing the services and products the typical enterprise
client is buying in the manufacturing technology space, based on
ISG’s experience working with its clients. The five quadrants that
will be covered are:
- Smart Product Engineering – On/Off-Highway Mobility,
assessing the capabilities of engineering and R&D service
providers and system integrators in systems engineering, including
hardware, software and embedded systems in such segments as small
series manufacturing, tests and simulations. The mobility smart
product engineering process starts after prototype development that
covers every aspect of industry-scale manufacturing engineering,
including niche techniques such as additive manufacturing for
passenger, commercial, and off-highway vehicles and two wheelers.
Considerable focus is on the seamless integration of electronics,
sensor technology and software systems.
- Smart Product Engineering – High Tech/Semiconductor,
analyzing the engineering and R&D capabilities of service
providers in mainstream semiconductor manufacturing processes and
across front-end-of-the-line and backend-of-the-line subprocesses ―
from creation of transistors to the formation of interconnects
within a device. A provider’s expertise is measured based on its
design engineering prowess and its quality assurance capabilities.
Major functions include ensuring compatibility in interconnects and
small wiring schemes in devices, which contribute to
resistance-capacitance delay in semiconductor chips.
- Digital Factory Services and Solutions, considering
service providers and system integrators capable of automating
shopfloor functions across the entire ecosystem of digital
manufacturing, including implementation of supply chain systems,
product development and launch. An area of focus is the analysis of
the impact of technologies in such areas as remote monitoring of
the production line, the IoT, the cloud, augmented reality and
virtual reality. Overall, this quadrant analyzes the attributes of
providers empowering organizations to transform into the digital
world and accelerate digital strategies.
- Mobility Security Solutions, includes all aspects of
solutions and services to protect connected cars and connected
aircraft, including passenger jets, commercial vehicles, and on-
and off-highway vehicles, against cyberattacks. This quadrant also
analyzes the capabilities of solution providers to address the
challenges of integrating full connectivity into advanced moving
platforms with new and ultra-fast communication networks, fast
data-based systems and high-performance computing. Providers with
secure-by-design software and hardware development capabilities and
those catering to a cross section of customers, such as car
manufacturers, fleet operators and aftermarket connectivity
providers, have a competitive edge over others.
- OT Security Solutions, analyzing the security solutions
offered by a solution provider to monitor operational technology
systems, including Modbus, Profibus, ethernet traffic and
proprietary traffic. These solutions protect OT components such as
PLC, human-machine interface, SCADA software, physical equipment,
machine control systems, and remote industrial software that are
not connected to the external world.
The report will cover the global manufacturing services market
and examine products and services available in the U.S. and Europe.
ISG analyst Avimanyu Basu will serve as lead author of the
report.
A list of identified providers and vendors and further details
on the study are available in this digital brochure. Companies not
listed as manufacturing technology providers can contact ISG and
ask to be included in the study.
