Production and intralogistics in the consumer goods industry are currently undergoing significant changes. This is the result of rising cost pressures and the need for greater automation as well as increasing product variants and customization. The changes that are taking place also relate to the goal of digitization: Every sensor, every machine, and all people involved in the production and intralogistics processes should be able to communicate with each other at all times. The vertical and, in the next step, horizontal networking of sensors, machines and factories is the systematic further development of this digitalization.

The Smart Industry Readiness Index (SIRI) comprises a suite of frameworks and tools to help manufacturers – regardless of size or industry – start, scale and sustain their digital transformation journeys. The ongoing COVID-19 pandemic and the reshaping of production value chains globally are spurring the manufacturing community to embrace digitalization with greater focus and urgency, motivated not only by potential gains in efficiency, but also by operational resilience. This renewed drive is further powered by the ongoing data revolution, where decision-makers increasingly expect key business commitments, plans and interventions to be supported through big data

Perhaps the most visible aspect of Industry 4.0 is the concept of the ‘smart factory’, a term that typically conjures up images of automated factories leveraging AI, big data and robotics to make manufacturing more efficient, innovative and … well, smarter. That’s a simple take on what in reality will be a complex undertaking that will be an evolutionary journey that manufacturers will take over the next decade or so. Consequently, it’s helpful to approach the smart factory concept in terms of what parts of the existing manufacturing process you want to make smarter, and the foundational technologies that will help you achieve that.

The manufacturing industry is undergoing tremendous change. The industrial revolution brought us assembly lines and mass production. The result was a dramatic increase in worker productivity. The digital revolution brings a host of new opportunities, enabled by data and the power and intelligence of cloud computing. However, it’s the talent, skill, and creativity of your people that determine success.

The manufacturing industry is entering a period of rapid reconfiguration, driven by the complex interaction of technological, geopolitical, macroeconomic, and financial factors. The long-term trends that have shaped international commerce during the post-Cold War period are changing. The engines of the era—the relatively free flow of capital across borders, the lengthy and complex global supply chains, the super-cycle of cheap credit, the stable supply of energy, and the steadily liberalizing global trade regime—have stalled or reversed course, as we enter a new period defined by very different trends, including the reappearance of high inflation and a new appreciation for credit risk.
