VISEO collaborates with Rockwell Automation to integrate real-time industrial execution
With less than half of collected industrial data actually being used, this cooperation aims to connect production operations to management systems to improve quality, traceability, and operational performance.
Boulogne-Billancourt, July 21, 2026 – VISEO announces a collaboration with Rockwell Automation around the Plex Cloud MES platform. By combining VISEO’s SAP and Supply Chain expertise with Plex’s industrial execution capabilities, the two companies intend to help manufacturers better connect their production operations to their management systems, thereby improving quality, traceability, and operational performance.
Faced with supply chain strains, cost volatility, and increasing demands for quality and traceability, manufacturers are seeking to strengthen their control over operational execution.
According to Rockwell Automation’s latest State of Smart Manufacturing Report, 81% of manufacturers believe that the challenges they face are accelerating their digital transformation projects, while 69% of companies not yet equipped with smart manufacturing technologies plan to invest in them within the next twelve months.
Yet, while factories are collecting more data than ever before, less than half of it (44%) is actually being used to support decision-making and improve operational performance.
Reconciling Planning and Execution
Manufacturers now have powerful tools to manage their finances, procurement, and supply chain. However, on-the-ground execution often remains disconnected from management systems, limiting real-time visibility into production and the ability to adjust operations.
By combining VISEO’s SAP S/4HANA and Supply Chain expertise with Rockwell Automation’s Plex Cloud MES platform, this collaboration aims to ensure digital continuity between planning decisions and their execution on the shop floor.
Manufacturers thus benefit from better synchronization between their production operations and management processes, fostering:
- improved real-time visibility into production operations;
- enhanced quality and traceability;
- improved monitoring of operational efficiency (OEE);
- better synchronization between ERP systems and production operations;
- increased continuity between planning, execution, and management.
Industrial data at the heart of competitiveness
As quality is now the top priority for manufacturers in their smart manufacturing projects, ahead of cost reduction and improved operational performance, leveraging production data is becoming a strategic imperative.
The rise of artificial intelligence, cloud computing, and SaaS architectures further reinforces this need. These technologies only create value if they rely on reliable, contextualized data available in real time.
In this context, MES is emerging as a crucial link between information systems and production operations.
VISEO strengthens its position in IT/OT convergence
With this collaboration, VISEO consolidates its position in projects that converge information and operational technologies.
Becoming an authorized Plex reseller aligns with VISEO’s strategy to support manufacturers in connecting their ERP systems, production operations, and supply chain to better leverage their data and enhance real-time management of their industrial operations.
The company assists manufacturers in designing their target architectures, integrating ERP and MES solutions, aligning business processes, and managing change to accelerate adoption and return on investment for industrial transformation projects.
Manufacturers no longer have a data collection problem. They have a data utilization problem.” With less than half of the information generated in factories actually being used, the challenge is no longer just to digitize processes, but to finally connect planning, execution, and business processes. By combining the SAP ecosystem with Rockwell Automation’s Plex platform, we help manufacturers transform their production data into operational decisions and competitive advantages.
The collaboration with VISEO allows us to accelerate our development in Europe, particularly in France, while relying on their project teams, recognized for their execution capabilities and expertise with industrial clients in the implementation of complex programs.
