Critical Manufacturing is dedicated to empowering manufacturers of complex, high tech discrete products with a manufacturing execution and intelligence system to achieve their goals, with special focus on the semiconductor, electronics, repetitive flow/batch and medical device industries. Critical Manufacturing’s operations are geographically diverse across EMEA, North America and Asia/Pacific (APAC). The Critical Manufacturing MES has strong data management, analytics and extended MES capability, supported by a sophisticated platform that manages both IoT and transactional MES data in the same data model. Inherently designed to accommodate the Industrial Internet of Things (IIoT), mobile devices, automation and sensors, etc. With revolutionary technologies such as an IoT data platform, factory automation, augmented reality, and a factory digital twin, focus on leveraging the data. Critical Manufacturing is continuing to add global system integrators (SIs) to further expand its market presence. Its product roadmap, leveraging its unique data management capabilities, continues its expansion into extended MES, with features including new product introduction (NPI), material logistics and factory automation. It is focusing on simplifying deployments and upgrades in multiple environments, including Microsoft Azure. Critical Manufacturing MES is truly an Industry 4.0 hub that provides manufacturers in demanding discrete industries a platform for digital transformation success.



Critical Manufacturing MES is the most comprehensive, modular MES solution for complex, global manufacturers on the path to digital transformation

Athena is a premier services partner supporting various client projects working closely with CM services group. We have established a dedicated Athena – Critical Manufacturing Center of Excellence (CoE) based in Chennai, India.
Athena has a structured internal training program on MES, CM certification programs, and strong execution experience across v7.2, 8.x, 9.0 & 10.x implementations, upgrades, customization, and post go-live support.


This project aims to provide solution to implement equipment & processes integration globally through robust backend systems. This phase is part of the CM MES implementation that is spread across various manufacturing locations.
