Digital Transformation and Advanced Technology
Manufacturers face an increasingly competitive environment and must increase productivity, run more efficient supply chains and deliver higher quality products that delight customers, increase sustainability and improve profitability. Digital transformation is a key initiative to help manufacturers succeed in this challenging business environment, but adopting the advanced technology options and alternatives can be daunting without a roadmap. How can a manufacturer effectively prioritize, select and adopt these technologies to meet their goals?
