What does the future of industrial manufacturing look like?
The industry has been totally transformed in recent years. Gone are the days when industrial manufacturers simply made products and delivered them. They are faced with ever-increasing customer demands, the widespread adoption of the Internet of Things, and the emerging power of technologies like machine learning and artificial intelligence. To succeed industrial manufacturers are now using the huge volumes of data generated by their products, assets, and processes to create exciting new service-based / outcome-based business models and revenue streams.
What are the social, economic, and environmental challenges that are shaping this new industrial manufacturing landscape? What are the key strategies for success in this customer-centric, experience-based economy?
