To get to where they’re going, manufacturers must first make an honest assessment of where they are.

Once armed with data, the hidden value is often in plain sight.

Digital transformation relies on connectivity in order to access data, improve processes, and empower people.

Asset visibility is essential to maintaining a secure operational environment while also providing real-time insights.

Setting a clear business case and conditions for success helps companies take incremental steps to deliver transformational value.

Smart factories looking to combine fast incremental innovation with deployment at scale need to begin with a cloud-based modern ERP.

Aligning the solution framework, intended business value, and smart factory expertise is key to success.

To ensure adaptability, a smart factory should be part of a broader digital transformation strategy for a manufacturer.

Listening to employees and their ideas helps drive new ways of doing business, says Worthington VP, Joe Resko.
