This document summarizes the findings of a study on digital manufacturing. It discusses topics like manufacturing networks, digital strategies, and key metrics. The study found that one-third of respondents have or plan a digital strategy. For process industries, over a quarter already use manufacturing execution systems and nearly a third plan to use mobility in plants. Discrete industries expect an 81% increase in 3D printing importance and over a third already use it for production. Supply chain organizations were also discussed.
