The Connected Factory, a new manufacturing era

17 October 2017

Round Table designed for leaders and decision makers

Manufacturers are embracing what’s recognized as “Industry 4.0” to redefine their businesses, such as company cultures. They’re creating higher-quality products at lower costs. They’re building entirely new business models and service offerings. And most importantly, they’re conserving limited resources to bring their customers a more sustainable future. According to IDC, the connected factory is already a reality as 40 percent of operational processes will be self-healing and self-learning by 2022.

By IDC’s estimates, manufacturing companies that take advantage of their data have the potential to to generate nearly $400 billion in revenue, in comparison to their peers who don’t capitalize on their data. It’s creating a virtuous cycle with savings being reinvested on innovation. However, while leading manufacturers are reaping the results disrupting technologies bring, the gap is widening between those who have started down this path and those who have not. Our advice is simple: if a business hasn’t developed a digital strategy, start now so your business can lead the transformation and maintain or gain a competitive advantage.
