Many steps, such as material flow and machine change-over, still aren\u2019t fully automated yet. This issue is particularly pronounced in Europe, where manufacturers need to optimize existing production facilities through automation to remain competitive.<\/p>\n \nSYSTEMA\u2019s expertise includes deep knowledge in digitally connecting current and legacy production equipment and systems. The company excels at upgrading and extending traditional manufacturing execution systems (MES) with data analytics and optimization capabilities, which these systems often lack but are crucial to increasing output and optimizing cost.<\/p>\n \n\u201cWe are combining SYSTEMA\u2019s semiconductor and high tech industry experience and capabilities with Accenture\u2019s global network and ability to scale to offer services covering the whole value chain, from supply to logistics and manufacturing,\u201d said Sarat Maitin, who leads Accenture\u2019s practice for digital engineering and manufacturing and infrastructure and capital projects, Industry X<\/a>, in Austria, Switzerland and Germany. \u201cOur ambition is to become a partner to the industry that helps clients in Germany and Europe secure competitiveness in a market increasingly under pressure.\u201d<\/p>\n \nSYSTEMA has specialized skills in MES solutions from SAP (ME\/MII\/DM) and Critical Manufacturing. Beyond the semiconductor sector, the company works for clients in the aerospace and defense, medical, electronics, food & beverage, automotive, machinery, metal and steel, and speciality chemicals industries.<\/p>\n \nSYSTEMA\u2019s team of more than 240 employees will join Accenture\u2019s Industry X practice.<\/p>\n \nManfred Austen, CEO of SYSTEMA, commented: \u201cWe have built long-standing, trusted relationships with our clients, guiding them through the ever-evolving technological landscape. With Accenture\u2019s capabilities in data, AI, engineering and supply chain, and our manufacturing IT\/OT solutions, we can innovate and scale more effectively, while continuing to strengthen our trusted client relationships.\u201d<\/p>\n \nThe terms of the transaction were not disclosed.<\/p>\n Forward-Looking Statements About Accenture \nCopyright \u00a9 2025 Accenture.
