Trailblazing your Digital Transformation

Navigating the complexities and challenges of staying competitive has prompted manufacturers and producers to look to new technologies.  The global pandemic has made more people rely on technology than ever before. It has made us all take a step back and rethink the growing importance of digital technologies in a post-pandemic world.

Digital transformation has provided a lifeline for organisations to remain productive in the current environment. It has become clear just how important it is to be as efficient and profitable as possible while reducing operational risk. By integrating digital technologies, manufacturers are able to achieve this.

A modern Distributed Control System (DCS) is essential for digital transformation. The latest DCS platforms have kept pace with technological developments. They now include features such as a simplified development environment, data, analytics and insights that help enable real-time decision-making capabilities. A Modern DCS can help build a Connected Enterprise as part of the digital transformation journey.

This issue of Automation Today deep dives into the power of digital transformation and how a modern DCS makes life simpler and more productive. It focuses on how embracing new technologies will fundamentally change how you do business and considers if the latest DCS platform can help in your digital transformation journey.

It features topics that provide practical insights to help you on your digital transformation journey, including: A Modern DCS is Essential for Digital Transformation; Premier Integration Reduces Engineering Time and Costs; and, How Augmented Reality Can Help Life Sciences Manufacturing.

This issue also includes the latest products and technologies, customer case studies that demonstrate how we help customers address their application challenges and recent company news and events.

As we wind up what has been a challenging 2020, I hope this issue of Automation Today helps you to identify areas for improved productivity and profitability in your operations as you progress in your digital transformation journey.
