Factory Intelligence
Digitize your production
Ready for tomorrow?
Industry 4.0 has been met with both enthusiasm and fence sitting. While sentiments and experiences have been mixed, most manufacturing leaders are now approaching Industry 4.0 with a sense of measured optimism.
While they recognize the potential value and business boost advanced manufacturing technologies can present—particularly AI, the industrial internet of things (IIoT), cloud computing, advanced analytics, virtual and augmented reality - they are still deliberating how and where to invest and balancing the hype with their own level of preparedness.
Meanwhile, they are also well aware of the significant changes Industry 4.0 will bring to a new manufacturing workforce - one that is increasingly becoming a hybrid of human and machine.
