Supply Market Outlook

Global/Regional Supplier

Increase in innovation: Global vendors in the automation industry have been continuously striving in a highly competitive environment by bringing in more innovative products as well as enhancing their existing product capabilities
Increase in M&A activities: The automation industry players are focused on mergers and acquisitions to expand their reach to untapped global markets and increase their product and service portfolio

System Integrators

Ensures OEE: An integrator ensures OEE to an end-user when they come in mainly for software integration of all the equipment already procured by the client
Innovation in automation: Some of the integrators also take up the responsibility of innovating in areas wherever possible in order to stay competitive. For instance, in 2016, B&R automation upgraded the highly advanced and flexible APROL automation platform by adding a powerful system component for Business Intelligence (BI). APROL includes a PAL library of standardized modular software functions for process engineering tasks

Engagement Trends

Most adopted model globally : Sourcing from OEMs, integrators, and distributors
Why : To attain cost savings by eliminating manpower across different tasks and maximizing process efficiency
Contract length : 2 – 3 years, with an option of maintenance and spare parts services
Pricing strategy : OEMs prefer lump-sum pricing, distributors prefer cost-plus pricing, while the integrators prefer market priced/milestone based/time and material based pricing
