Modular Management Recognized for the Fourth Consecutive Year in Gartner® 2025 Hype Cycle for Discrete Manufacturing Technologies

STOCKHOLM, Sweden – August 14, 2025 – For the fourth year in a row, Modular Management has been recognized as a Sample Vendor in the Gartner® 2025 Hype Cycle™ for Discrete Manufacturing Technologies.¹ This continued recognition reinforces our position as a trusted leader in product configuration and modular architecture — helping industrial manufacturers scale, customize, and operate with greater precision and profitability.

Modular Management appears in the Product Configuration Platforms category, which Gartner identifies as having a Transformational benefit for the manufacturing industry.

Why Gartner’s Hype Cycle Matters

This year’s Hype Cycle emphasizes technologies that help manufacturers thrive amid rising costs, complex supply chains, and accelerating demand for digital transformation. With solutions like AI for product lifecycle, edge computing, and cyber-physical systems on the rise, CIOs are laser-focused on scalable, resilient, and composable platforms.

Among the technologies reaching the Peak of Inflated Expectations in 2025 is Product Configuration Platforms — a space Modular Management has long helped define. These platforms are critical for transforming engineer-to-order complexity into configure-to-order scalability — improving time to market, operational efficiency, and customer responsiveness.

The Gartner Hype Cycle serves as an objective, research-based framework to assess the maturity and strategic impact of emerging technologies. Being featured for four years running affirms our role as a trusted partner in enabling next-generation performance for manufacturers worldwide.
