Smart manufacturing
The manufacturing sector is entering a period of convergence. Several distinct technological shifts, including sensors, automation, machine learning, computing and communications, have each advanced and combined to enable a new era of digital innovation. The confluence of these dynamics will accelerate change and bring unparalleled levels of productivity.
The following guide is based on a study conducted by Harbor Research on the opportunities presented by new digital and Industrial Internet of Things (IIoT) solutions, with additional insight into how OEMs can capitalize on these transformational forces to better support their end user customers. Rockwell Automation sponsored the original report to provide a comprehensive perspective on emerging digital innovations, applications and use cases.
This guide offers context on what this new paradigm means for OEMs and their go-to-market approach. It then provides a framework and model that OEMs can use to think about the entire lifecycle of their machines, leveraging the right stakeholders and maximizing the value of each part of the process. Digitalization plays an important role in harnessing the potential value that OEMs can offer across the lifecycle.
