While digital transformation is a buzzword that has been on every industry’s lips, in the manufacturing sector it is not a technological upgrade alone but a fundamental restructuring of processes, operations and business models. The need for digital transformation in this sector is driven by a range of factors that are driving industry players to embrace this transformative journey. One of the primary reasons for digital transformation in manufacturing lies in the search for enhanced operational efficiency. Digital technologies, such as the internet of things (IoT), intelligent connectivity, and advanced analytics, enable real-time monitoring, data-driven decision-making and predictive maintenance. These capabilities empower manufacturers to optimise production processes, reduce downtime and cut inefficiencies, ultimately leading to improved productivity and cost-effectiveness. An evolving landscape Because the manufacturing landscape is becoming increasingly dynamic in terns of evolving consumer demands, market trends and geopolitical influences, these entities need agility and flexibility to respond rapidly to changes in the market. Smart manufacturing systems enable quick adjustments to production schedules, efficient customisation of products and seamless adaptation to shifting industry dynamics. Another area in which modern technologies can contribute to raising the quality of manufacturing processes and products is through the integration of sensors and […]
