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.

Manufacturing organizations today and in the future will have to operate in a business and market environment that will continue to be volatile, uncertain, and complex, while operating in an increasingly digital economy. At the same time, they will have to embed sustainability targets into their operations to comply with legal regulations and customer requirements (such as reducing CO2 emissions). To thrive, manufacturing organization CEOs and C-suites need to find the right formula to balance the need to fix the present and at the same time prepare for the future. IDC Insights has designed a framework to helpcompanies thrive and to "PRIME" them for profitable outcomes and sustainable long-term business growth.

The conversion brought forth by digital transformation and advanced technologies has made a tremendous impact on the way manufacturers process and manage their organizations. While the strategies of agile and modern management systems, specifically quality management, are the result of digital conversion, there is still limited understanding and unclear identification in this new era of quality assurance impact. With the development of digital methodologies, the classical system of operating businesses has been disrupted. As a result, many organizations are in the process of reacting to digitization by utilizing enhanced business platforms and rebuilding the waterfall approach to the agile approach

For the better part of a decade, manufacturers have made significant strides to drive efficiencies, boost agility, and improve product quality by implementing data-capture sensors and analytics systems. Now, they are capitalizing on that foundation to optimize interconnectivity, automation, machine learning, and real-time data to further enhance production outcomes and improve worker safety and well-being.

We are living through a historic time, when advanced technologies continually change how a manufacturer generates value. This new digital era is the “Fourth Industrial Revolution” (4IR). Companies see new technologies accelerating strategic, tech-enabled transformations. Regardless, many manufacturing companies are stuck in the proof of concept (PoC) phase or are running projects that are delivering results far from revolutionary. Add to that the COVID-19 tsunami, a crisis that changed the world in a matter of weeks. It is difficult to predict every aspect of the post-COVID-19 era, but it is already clear the world will never be the same. Even the most conservative industrial player will need to adapt to the “new normal”, with the importance of digital rapidly increasing for the entire value chain. Executives are expected to speed up digital transformation initiatives, changing the operating model forever.

Industrial companies, such as those in manufacturing, energy, mining, agriculture, and transportation, are increasingly looking to fuel digital transformation—from optimizing operations to accelerating design to reinventing supply chains. For these organizations, data has become the connective tissue that holds their complex industrial systems together.
