Smart manufacturing is the gateway to digital transformation. Connected smart devices open new windows of visibility into processes. Data and analytics enable better and faster decision making. Seamless connectivity spurs new collaboration.
The Connected Enterprise makes all this possible. It converges plant-level and enterprise networks, and securely connects people, processes, and technologies.
New insights that are revealed through better data access can help you reduce bottlenecks, implement demand-based decisions, and improve maintenance. Greater digitization can help you reduce downtime and improve profitability. Digital twins, for example, can be used to optimize machine designs or test production changes before you implement them. Connected products or services can create entirely new revenue streams.
The technologies that are required for digital transformation exist already. Learn more about how they can reshape your connected enterprise.
Smart manufacturing and industrial operations embrace a new way forward. This new direction is highly connected so devices and processes can be continually monitored and optimized.
Smart operations require the use of new and disruptive technologies, from analytics and mobile to collaborative machines. These technologies communicate with each other and adapt to internal and external conditions. Smart operations also require new strategies that make the most of these technologies to create flexible, efficient, responsive, and secure operations.
