We found this infographic which clearly summarizes the tech themes of digital transformation leaders. In the process of becoming a smart factory, manufacturers are encouraged to make sure they have the right foundations.
INTEGRATION
Smart manufacturers who lead the way are more likely to meet their integration goals. Combining your ERP with a real-time data collection and a monitoring dashboard means that you get the most out of your systems to help your team work as efficiently as possible.
INTELLIGENCE
Industry 4.0 often means a mix of technologies, data, analytics and collection techniques. The ability to choose the right mix is what differenciate the leaders from the rest.
AUTOMATION
Being able to rethink the way your manufacturing facilites work to identify the main opportunities for automation is also key to a successful digital transformation.
AGILITY
Agility is a strong keyword in software development but it can apply to a wide variety of collaboration processes. Being agile means continually delivering small results on which we can build on.
COLLABORATION
Various tools and techniques now exist to improve collaboration between team members. Mobile devices, tv screens on the factory floor and evergreen applications or software make it easier then ever to communicate efficiently.
FLEXIBILITY
Ordering items instead of big inventory, customizing design based on the customer's needs... These are a few examples of flexibility. We are moving toward a more organic interaction between demand, supply and manufacturers. Those who already are considering introducing an interactive platform to allow this dialogue with their clients are most likely to succeed.
