Manufacturing is a fluid industry. If a plant does not change and innovate, they will soon be out of business. Because of this dynamic environment, manufacturers need innovative technology. Tailorable systems deliver the flexibility that a business needs while avoiding the drawbacks of a completely custom software. Custom software can take years to develop/implement, then must be rebuilt as technology advances. High-end configured systems take only a few months to tailor. A system with MDA (Model-driven architecture) allows for upgrades without the need to rebuild tailored interface.
