Digital Transformation is already in your industry vertical. To survive, you must adapt. For Industry 4.0 to be successful, users must be highly engaged and collaborative on continuous improvement initiatives using new technology. Either a manufacturer must engage technologically astute shop personnel such as operators or select a system that abstracts the complexity away from the operators, providing simple interactive tools that do not threaten nor burden the operators with non-productive work.
All the talk in manufacturing circles is around technology adoption. Whether it is AI, Machine Learning, Industry 4.0. IIoT, OEE, and other topics, it is all about applying technology to the shop floor to enhance the operations and reap the benefits, and profits. The most important aspect of any adoption plan, regardless of the technology you are pursuing, is to appoint a Champion. Thousands of POCs and projects have failed because of this one critical component, a dedicated person to take ownership of the technology.
