Overview
Powerful technologies are at play to re-shape the manufacturing industry and propel it to the next phase of technology powered evolution. Next-gen technologies like IoT are leading the Industry 4.0 transformation agenda and success will belong to those who have a clear vision and a solid execution plan.
In an ecosystem where mass customization, out of the box service offerings, vitality and collaboration are increasingly becoming the key differentiators enterprises are looking to attain, we are helping decode the digital disruption roadmap to help achieve the same.

Synopsis: The digital age is firmly upon us and the traditional B2B enterprises are finding it difficult to remain market-relevant in this new end customer driven experience- economy. It has become crucial for enterprises to leverage product-level and process-level twins. Bringing digital twins to reality requires integration of multiple data sources, from connectivity enabled devices, to PLM, SLM & ALM systems and MOM. This unlocks opportunities of optimizing performance of assets and systems of assets. Combining the power of Digital twins with AI, ML and AR enables enterprises to move from a proactive to predictive format of maintenance. Leveraging these areas of service is paramount for today's businesses in order to achieve operational efficiency and create new revenue potential . The next logical level of maturity, and hence monetization, is achieved when different system twins are integrated, creating a Twin2Twin™ ecosystem. A Twin2Twin™ ecosystem unlocks newer monetization streams by commoditizing the twins. In the future we can see dynamic digital twins traversing the digital thread from the manufacturers to the end customer.
Synopsis: Manufacturing organizations have been trying to improve performance, improve quality, and reduce costs since the dawn of manufacturing. The digital transformation that has engulfed the world is focused on solving many of the original problems but in new ways that produce greater value. Advance analytics, Machine learning, cheaper processing power and storage have all lead to the ability to generate better insights in a near real-time fashion from data that has been integrated from a diverse array of manufacturing systems. This enables workers from the shop floor to the top floor to ingest these insights in a consistent actionable manner and instead of reacting to issues, gaining the ability to predict and proactively deal with problems. This will lead to greater productivity with less waste.
In addition to the age old problems of manufacturing, digital transformation is adding value to help mitigate the risks associated with workforce turn over and attrition. AR/VR is assisting companies to rapidly document work procedures for training and maintenance as well as enabling remote expert capabilities so a single employee could potentially deal with situations at multiple facilities in a single day.
What are some of the myths that are holding organizations back from starting their journey and where to start.

Synopsis: A successful digital thread realizes business benefits of New revenue streams, Business Models, Time to Market and overall improvement in topline, bottom line of an organization amongst others. Visibility and traceability across the traditional silos of Engineering, Mfg, Aftermarket and Product in use along with collaboration beyond organizational boundaries is key to enable the Digital Thread. The analysis of IT and OT data combined with application of SMEs help define standards and rules for closing the feedback loop.
