Industry 4.0 Was Supposed to Save Manufacturing. It Didn’t. For years, we’ve been told digital transformation would fix everything—labor shortages, inefficiencies, supply chains. But here we are, and the problems haven’t gone away. So, what went wrong? That’s what we tackled at CADDi Connect a few weeks ago. It wasn’t just another conference full of hype—we had real conversations about why Industry 4.0 failed and what actually needs to happen next. The short version? Tech alone won’t save manufacturing. Never was going to. I pulled together insights from the event and wrote about what comes next: Industry 5.0, where humans and technology actually work together. Read the full article below. If you’re tired of the same old buzzwords and want to know what’s really happening, give it a read. Let me know what you think.

?? Bridging the Knowledge Gap in Manufacturing ?? In manufacturing, knowledge isn’t just power—it’s survival. But as industry veterans retire, businesses face a critical challenge: how to retain and transfer expertise to the next generation. CADDi CEO Yushiro Kato dives into this urgent issue in KMWorld, exploring how manufacturers can secure institutional knowledge and turn experience into a lasting competitive advantage. From digital transformation to AI-driven documentation, he highlights practical strategies to ensure expertise doesn’t walk out the door when employees do.

"You're doing digital transformation wrong." That was the bold theme of CADDi's first annual flagship event, CADDi Connect held in San Francisco. We brought together visionaries from Fictiv, Provisur Technologies Inc, Hilltop Technologies, Applied Materials, and more to tackle the big question: How do we stop talking about digital transformation and actually make it work? With Jim Mayer as our MC, the event kept the energy high and the conversations real—because digital transformation isn’t just about tech, it’s about people. Key moments from the day: ?? Will Drewery (CEO, Diagon) kicked things off with a keynote that turned manufacturing transformation into an American story, tying it back to his family's journey from the Great Migration to Pittsburgh’s factory floors. ?? A panel on AI actively enabling workers rather than seeking to replace them with leaders from L2L, Duro Labs, and nVenia, A Duravant Company, moderated by our own Patrick Harrigan. ?? Four fireside chats with industry pros Whitney Sales, Chris Brown, Vivek Kumar, and Aaron Lober tackling the real roadblocks of transformation—data, storytelling, human factors, and R&D. ?? A major CADDi product announcement by our Founder & CEO, Yushiro Kato, who laid out eerie parallels between U.S. and Japan’s manufacturing challenges—and why the time to adapt is now! The takeaways? Stop chasing transformation for the sake of it. Set clear goals. Empower your people. Break the silos. #CADDiConnect #DigitalTransformation #ManufacturingInnovation #LeadershipInTech

Very provocative take from our VP of Marketing! VAVE is necessary for manufacturers to survive.

Country-of-origin labels are a helpful way to advertise a product is locally made, but with the threat of wide-ranging tariffs, these labels could take on new significance. https://f-st.co/qUNKFL3
