Digitalization is an evolving process that took roots several decades ago. The first business computers and data storage units emerged in the 1950s. In the 1960s, companies invested in databases and automated processes to make reservations and plan materials or to gain easier access to schedules/inventories, MRP was born in response to the Toyota Production Systems and Methods. In the 1970s, banking experienced its first digital advancement with the invention of ATMs, which ignited a major digitization trend

The World Economic Forum, in collaboration with Accenture and EPRI, launched the “Transitioning Industrial Clusters towards Net Zero” global initiative at COP26 in Scotland, to accelerate the transition of industrial clusters globally towards net-zero emissions. This initiative promotes and enables industries to realize the benefits of co-location and take an integrated approach to transitioning towards net zero. Industrial clusters are where sector-specific decarbonization efforts and clean energy technology deployment efforts converge to enable a systemic approach towards industrial decarbonization

Industry 4.0—also referred to as smart manufacturing, connected manufacturing, the Industrial Internet of Things (IIoT), and other monikers—has revolutionized the way companies manufacture, enhance, and distribute products through the use of new technologies. However, not all sectors and markets are evolving at the same pace. To help both manufacturing providers and industry leaders understand the landscape, ABI Research’s Industrial & Manufacturing Markets Research provides insights, perspectives, and data related to digital maturity within individual markets and across the industry landscape. Our research illuminates drivers and inhibitors that are shaping adoption of digital technologies across market maturity, practitioners’ investment priorities, and best practices for deploying the technologies. We keep abreast of key trends, including increasing demand for electric vehicles and semiconductor chips, the adoption of machine learning and automation, and a reliance on digital twins.

More than almost any other industry, the printing industry has been experiencing an uninterrupted series of trends towards digitization for decades. As a result, this change repeatedly forced established business models to be put to the test and new goals to be defined. In all process stages, from media design to print finishing, production processes have been digitized and automated to an extent that would have seemed almost inconceivable just 25 years ago. The increasing demand for variable content, ever-shorter print runs, and expedited delivery time has been driving this development further, as well as presenting print shop logistics with new tasks. Job management and Production Planning and Control (PPC) are currently being reorganized by the Internet, mobile communications and the transfer of crucial processes to the cloud.
