ABB tops Collaborative Production Management market share worldwide
ABB雄踞全球CPM市场份额第一
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.
在行业分析机构ARC管理集团最新发表的《过程工业CPM/MES系统全球展望》这份研究报告里面，ABB雄踞这个不断增长市场的全球领先位置。CPM（协同生产管理）和MES（制造执行系统）软件提供制造流程的可视性、执行、跟踪、报告和优化，提高产品质量、安全性以及整体生产力。
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.
根据这项研究，过去两年，随着制造企业对协同和改善其运营效率和盈利的需求， 全球各地区的CPM市场均有增长。对能源利用和成本的控制、新法规、全球化、标准实施、大数据分析人口结构变化、以及降低制造成本的整体要求，推动了CPM越来越多的采用。
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.
即使受到经济不稳定和汇率波动的影响，ARC预测，行业推动因素仍将继续带动流程CPM整体市场在2012年及以后取得积极的增长。一些新技术的应用，例如平板电脑、智能手机和云计算作为工作场所的工具，人们对CPM解决方案所提供的信息访问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.”
研究报告作者、ARC首席顾问Janice Abel表示：“ABB的CPM解决方案为用户提供协同工具以改善生产力和资产利用率，同时在快速变化的商业环境里降低能源和维护成本。ABB对Ventyx以及Mincom公司的收购极大扩展了ABB的CPM业务。凭借其全面的产品线，ABB为在这个市场进一步的增长布局作好了准备。”
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收购能源网络软件公司Ventyx。Ventyx公司随后在2011收购了Mincom，一家专注于矿业的软件公司。Ventyx和MINCOM的联合，以及ABB现有CPM业务组合的持续强劲有机增长，使得ABB成为市场领导者。在2011年，ABB在石油、天然气和化工这些关键业务领域也录得良好的有机增长，同时在矿业取得非常强劲的有机增长。
"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过程自动化业务部全球负责人芮尼克表示：“协同生产管理使我们的过程客户已经从其工厂底层自动化所获得的好处更大。ABB提供的软件已被证明可以减少我们客户的制造运营从订单到现金的时间，提高吞吐量，减少库存和优化维护。我们已经听到客户谈论需要完整的从车间层到管理层的整合多年，ABB提供的CPM解决方案，正可以做到这点，而且可以做得更多。”
