ABB tops Collaborative Production Management market share worldwide
ABB雄踞全球CPM市場份額第一

In a recently published study titled “CPM/MES Systems for Process Industries Worldwide Outlook,” industry analyst firm ARC Advisory Group ranked ABB in the leading worldwide position for this expanding market. CPM（Collaborative Production Management） and MES (Manufacturing Execution System) software provides visibility, execution, tracking, reporting and optimization of manufacturing processes to improve product quality, safety, and overall productivity.

在行業分析機構ARC管理集團最新發表的《過程工業CPM/MES系統全球展望》這份研究報告里面，ABB雄踞這個不斷增長市場的全球領先位置。CPM（協同生產管理）和MES（制造執行系統）軟件提供制造流程的可視性、執行、跟蹤、報告和優化，提高產品質量、安全性以及整體生產力。

According to the study, the CPM market grew in all regions of the world in over the past two years, as all manufacturing organizations need to collaborate and improve their efficiency to operate profitably. The increased use of CPM is driven by the need to control energy use and costs, new regulations, globalization, standards enforcement, big data analytics demographic changes, and the overall need to reduce manufacturing costs.

根據這項研究，過去兩年，隨著制造企業對協同和改善其運營效率和盈利的需求， 全球各地區的CPM市場均有增長。對能源利用和成本的控制、新法規、全球化、標準實施、大數據分析人口結構變化、以及降低制造成本的整體要求，推動了CPM越來越多的采用。

Even with economic instability and exchange rate fluctuations, ARC forecasts that industry dynamics will continue to drive the overall CPM for process market growth positively in 2012 and beyond. The increased use of new technologies such as tablets, smartphones and cloud computing as workplace tools have set new expectations for the information access and capabilities provided by CPM solutions.

即使受到經濟不穩定和匯率波動的影響，ARC預測，行業推動因素仍將繼續帶動流程CPM整體市場在2012年及以后取得積極的增長。一些新技術的應用，例如平板電腦、智能手機和云計算作為工作場所的工具，人們對CPM解決方案所提供的信息訪問和能力有了新的期待。

“ABB’s CPM solutions provide users with collaboration tools to improve productivity and asset availability, while reducing energy and maintenance costs in a rapidly changing business environment.” said Janice Abel, principal consultant at ARC and author of the study. “The acquisitions of both Ventyx and Mincom vastly expanded ABB’s CPM business. With its comprehensive product line, ABB stands poised to grow its presence even further in this market.”

研究報告作者、ARC首席顧問Janice Abel表示：“ABB的CPM解決方案為用戶提供協同工具以改善生產力和資產利用率，同時在快速變化的商業環境里降低能源和維護成本。ABB對Ventyx以及Mincom公司的收購極大擴展了ABB的CPM業務。憑借其全面的產品線，ABB為在這個市場進一步的增長布局作好了準備。”

ABB acquired power networking software company Ventyx in 2010. Ventyx then acquired Mincom, a software company focused on the mining business, in 2011. The combination of Ventyx, Mincom and continued strong organic growth of ABB’s existing CPM portfolio allowed ABB to move to the market leadership role. In 2011, ABB also recorded good organic growth across the key business areas of oil, gas and chemicals, as well as very strong organic growth in the mining business.

在2010年，ABB收購能源網絡軟件公司Ventyx。Ventyx公司隨后在2011收購了Mincom，一家專注于礦業的軟件公司。Ventyx和MINCOM的聯合，以及ABB現有CPM業務組合的持續強勁有機增長，使得ABB成為市場領導者。在2011年，ABB在石油、天然氣和化工這些關鍵業務領域也錄得良好的有機增長，同時在礦業取得非常強勁的有機增長。

"Collaborative Production Management allows our process customers to extend the benefits that they get from the underlying automation they already have in their plant. The software ABB provides has been proven to reduce order to cash time for our customers’ manufacturing operations, improve throughput, reduce inventory and optimize maintenance,” said said Veli-Matti Reinikkala, head of ABB’s Process Automation division. “We've heard customers talk about the need for complete shop floor to top floor integration for years; ABB is delivering CPM solutions that do exactly that and more."

ABB過程自動化業務部全球負責人芮尼克表示：“協同生產管理使我們的過程客戶已經從其工廠底層自動化所獲得的好處更大。ABB提供的軟件已被證明可以減少我們客戶的制造運營從訂單到現金的時間，提高吞吐量，減少庫存和優化維護。我們已經聽到客戶談論需要完整的從車間層到管理層的整合多年，ABB提供的CPM解決方案，正可以做到這點，而且可以做得更多。”
