Digitalization is a core component of the revolution in manufacturing. It has become a driving force to innovate, produce, sell and service products.
4 key characteristics define modern manufacturing, allowing expansion in today’s on-demand experience economy
Empower human ingenuity
Putting humans at the heart of the industrial transformation process, inventing new ways to collaborate and empowering these new “augmented humans” to unleash their creativity - by relieving them from repetitive tasks.
Creative
The new usages of the experience economy place innovation at the heart of the production game including creating new business models.
Smart

Connecting value streams
Today’s industrial know-how allows fast, cost- and energy-efficient goods and services delivery to consumers around the world. Virtualizing the entire Industry Chain in the right way with Digital continuity is the key to increase and protect value. Putting also extra focus on Lean Supply Chain process optimization is very important and also strive towards a customer oriented mindset on employee level.
Technological challenges
One of the biggest manufacturing digitalization challenges is the lack of relevant knowledge to implement advanced manufacturing technologies in a safe and secure manner. But overcoming this learning curve may be as simple as reaching out to external consultants experienced in providing guidance and resources to manufacturers.
Enlisting outside expertise for any kind of technology implementation can help an organization leverage knowledge, skills, and abilities they wouldn’t be able to access otherwise. Outside experts can provide immediate implementation guidance and training to help organizations take advantage of innovations such as the following :
Artificial intelligence (AI)-powered robots, 3D printing, the Internet of Things (IoT)...there’s a whole world of advanced manufacturing technology and innovation just waiting for big, small and medium-sized manufacturers (SMMs) who want to step up their digital game.
