Many cite inhibiting barriers that include acquiring sufficient knowledge to choose among emerging options, difficulties in coordinating Industry 4.0 activities across different organizational units, concerns about IoT-related cybersecurity and data ownership. Ultimately, the foremost barrier may not be particularly revolutionary at all. That barrier is change.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">It is not just resistance to change. For many of us, it is human nature to find levels of comfort and stick with them. Internal change as a choice will always require personal motivation.<\/span><\/p>\n<h2><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Industry 4.0 Elevates the Rate of Change<\/span><\/h2>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">What Industry 4.0 does is elevate the external rate of change to a point that our comfort levels are rendered mute and the choice to change is not based on internal motivation. Manufacturers are dealing with changing demands that do more than suggest that change is coming. These changes are happening with or without a response. The ability to respond to the barrage of constant change may be the trait that allows some to evolve while others fall to endangered status.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Many of our legacy clich\u00e9s just don\u2019t work. The period of \u201cWork smarter, not harder\u201d may be over. We may have to replace the motto above the shop floor to \u201cBe adaptable, not smarter.\u201d The emergence of advanced technologies allows manufacturers to change not just what they do, but to change how they prepare for the next change.<\/span><\/p>\n<h2><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Is IoT the Recipe for Better Insights?<\/span><\/h2>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">For example, on the surface, IoT is a great way to get more data from a critical process or asset. A sprinkle of extra data and dash of machine learning might provide insights that drive better yields or avoid unplanned downtime. That is a good enough story but there is more to it. \u00a0The \u201chow\u201d it\u2019s done is just as important as the \u201cwhat\u201d is done. Legacy approaches would have required thick solutions of rigid connectivity and layers of data aggregation. These solutions could have provided some results but with a diminished ROI. The legacy solution would have resisted change and simple adjustments like moving the asset to another plant across the globe would have broken down the solution and required rebuilding. <\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">IoT by its nature avoids the layers of rigidity. Access to the asset is fluid and flexible. Eliminating layers and historical baggage allows IoT to keep pace with the inevitable changes. This concept paired with the lightness of application also greatly expands the scope of what changes can be addressed. Why evaluate only a single critical asset when the technology can be readily applied to all of your assets?<\/span><\/p>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/www.qad.com\/about\/eventsregister\/\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Join us at Explore<\/span><\/a><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> this year to hear how your fellow manufacturers are responding to, but more importantly, preparing for change. I will lead an Industrial and High Tech session that features a major magnetic wire manufacturing story of moving from demand planning with a spreadsheet to a set of modern analytic and decision support tools. Can you push your organization away from the pivot table?<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">The good news for manufacturing is that \u201cit ain\u2019t over until it\u2019s over.\u201d Some old dogs will learn new tricks. Curiosity may have seriously damaged the cat, but listening to real manufacturing success stories may give you even more than nine lives.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Let us embark on this Industry 4.0 revolution together.
