Cloud Or On-Premises, MES Without Compromise, And Value Through Collaboration
What if the strongest ROI comes from the problems your factory never sees? At productronica 2025, EMSNOW's Eric Miscoll sat down with Aegis Software Corporation's CEO, Jason Spera, to talk about cloud and on premises feature parity, security as a production priority, and how the latest loss prevention reports highlight what FactoryLogix prevents on its own through normal use. These include stopped shipments, blocked operators, and nonconforming material being caught before it moved any further.
They also covered Arch Systems & Aegis' ARIA Bridge for accelerated analytics. Think sharper downtime reason accuracy, cleaner root cause signals, and instant time to value. The conversation then moved to Aegis’ PLC Gateway, which maps PLC tags into IPC CFX messages through a simple web UI, transforming silent equipment into standard, MES-ready data sources without heavy integration, even for plants that are not using FactoryLogix.
If you are comparing deployment models or looking for practical ways to strengthen resilience and improve visibility, this interview is worth a look.
