Berlin, April 30, 2024 - PSI Automotive & Industry GmbH has won the Factory Innovation Award 2024 in the category MES/MOM (Manufacturing Execution System/Manufacturing Operations Management). As an ERP and MES software provider, PSI prevailed against well-known competitors and received the award at the Hannover Messe 2024.
The jury based its decision on the fact that PSI's MES software enables both the design and implementation of automated processes in the manufacturing industry. "What we particularly liked about PSI's solution was the architectural approach and the strategy for the brownfield, as well as the possibility of post-automation of existing systems, the use of OPC UA and the many open components," said jury member Prof. Norbert Gronau. Therefore, the software is considered a driver for digital transformation in the manufacturing industry and stands for maximum transparency and optimal process control.
PSI had already won the Factory Innovation Award's special prize for "Future-proof architecture" last year and also achieved second place in the "Factory Software Platform" category.
The "Factory Innovation Award" competition is one of the most important awards for smart factory software in Europe. An independent jury of experts consisting of journalists, consultants, users and researchers selects one overall winner in each of the various categories. The award is organized by the Center Industry 4.0 at the University of Potsdam, in cooperation with the Berlin-based GITO publishing house and the trade magazine FACTORY INNOVATION.
