6. How can manufacturers successfully respond
to the data-first era?
Data driving change – Manufacturing is quickly grasping the possibilities brought by data,
and there is a huge opportunity to optimise operations through the efficient gathering and
processing of data from machines within a factory.
Collaboration through digitisation – from the IoT, to 3D printing, to AL and machine
learning – will bring huge financial gains.
Taking advantage of the hybrid approach – To achieve this, manufacturers must move
away from legacy systems to a hybrid/multicloud deployment.
