What OPEN DATA does

Open Data Srl is an Italian private limited company (S.r.l.) headquartered in Argelato (with operating presence referenced in Trieste), founded in 1994 and operating with 11-50 employees. The firm functions as a value-added reseller (VAR) and channel partner for Opera MES — a modular, full web-based Manufacturing Execution System (MES/MOM) originally developed by Cybertec S.r.l. and, since 2020, part of the Zucchetti Group, Italy's largest software house by revenue and product breadth. Open Data distributes and implements Opera MES through a global VAR network spanning 18 countries, with multi-language support across Italian, English, French, German, and Spanish, serving manufacturers in discrete and process industries.

The core product Open Data brings to market, Opera MES, is organized around three functional pillars — Execution (automatic dispatching, process management, machine/plant interconnection, automated data acquisition), Orchestration (workflow management, paperless operations, system integration, factory automations including alarms/notifications), and Monitoring (product traceability and genealogy, OEE/OPE performance analysis, control room monitoring, Visual Factory dashboards). The platform integrates with leading ERP systems (SAP ERP, Microsoft Dynamics 365, SAGE) and embeds AI, Deep Learning, and Artificial Neural Network capabilities positioned for Industry 5.0 use cases. The broader Zucchetti Manufacturing Suite extends the offering with Cyberplan (APS), AWMS (WMS), AI Zucchetti (predictive analytics and AI Agents), workforce management, and Opera Device Connection for IoT/Industry 4.0/5.0 machine interconnection. With 500+ licenses installed across diverse manufacturing sectors, the platform targets fragmented visibility, paper-based processes, ERP-shop floor disconnection, and OEE losses.

Commercially, Open Data operates a partner-led distribution model combined with direct enterprise field sales (a "Request Demo" CTA routes prospects to Cybertec for bespoke engagement). Revenue is generated through software licensing (subscription/recurring, per the available data), with module-based pricing across Execution, Orchestration, and Monitoring, plus services from certified VAR partners. The customer base spans enterprise and mid-market manufacturers across discrete and process industries, with no named anchor customer disclosed and a diversified portfolio implied by 500+ cross-industry installations. No funding rounds, M&A activity, or revenue figures were disclosed for Open Data Srl in the available source material, and pricing is not publicly disclosed.

Direct peers

• AVEVA: Major MES and manufacturing operations management provider serving process and hybrid industries, directly overlapping Opera MES in batch tracking, recipe management, and continuous production scenarios for global manufacturers.
• Siemens Opcenter: Global MES/MOM leader (formerly Camstar) competing head-on with Opera MES in discrete and process manufacturing. Both platforms target real-time production visibility, traceability, and OEE, addressing overlapping customers in large multinational manufacturers.
• Rockwell Automation (FactoryTalk): Provides the FactoryTalk MES/MOM suite tightly integrated with Rockwell's PLC/automation stack. Competes with Opera MES for discrete manufacturers prioritizing shop-floor-to-ERP visibility, especially in mid-market and enterprise segments.
• Dassault DELMIA: Dassault Systèmes' manufacturing operations and execution portfolio, used by global manufacturers for production planning, execution, and shop-floor orchestration. Competes against Opera MES in complex, multi-site industrial environments.
• Honeywell Forge: Enterprise manufacturing operations platform from Honeywell serving process and discrete manufacturers. Overlaps with Opera MES in OEE/OPE analytics, traceability, and large-scale multi-site MES deployments.
• PTC (ThingWorx / Kepware): Industrial IoT and MES-adjacent platform used for production monitoring, OEE, and machine connectivity. Competes with Opera MES's AI/IoT capabilities and Industry 4.0 device-connection module, particularly in connected-factory deployments.

Broad incumbents

• Zucchetti Group: Italy's largest software house and parent ecosystem of Cybertec (which develops Opera MES) and Open Data. Comparable as the broader Italian manufacturing-software group whose manufacturing suite (Cyberplan, AWMS, AI Zucchetti) Open Data leverages and competes against in adjacent modules.
• SAP Manufacturing Execution (SAP ME): SAP's own MES solution tightly integrated with the SAP ERP ecosystem. Competes with Opera MES for SAP-centric manufacturers, though Open Data's ERP-agnostic approach also targets the same customers where SAP ME is over-specified or under-flexible.
• ABB Ability Manufacturing Operations Management: ABB's industrial automation and MES offering, sold alongside its robotics and process automation portfolio. Overlaps with Opera MES in discrete and process manufacturing, especially in European accounts that bundle automation with execution systems.

Emerging players

• Critical Manufacturing: Specialist MES vendor focused on high-tech and process manufacturers, with a modern MES/MOM platform. Direct competitor to Opera MES in regulated, complex manufacturing segments where configurability and Industry 4.0 integration are key buying criteria.
