Smart Manufacturing as a concept has been around for over 15 years and is firmly on an upward trajectory as organizations are starting to realize their full transformational potential. For most manufacturers, it’s only recently that the Smart Factory is no longer considered a technology experiment. It’s now deemed a critical initiative with a clear business case: a Gartner survey of manufacturers found 88% of participants expect smart manufacturing to advance their competitiveness1 .

Industry 4.0 and the Industrial Internet of Things (IIoT) create significant challenges for users and manufacturers of systems and devices. Most machine and system manufacturers as well as most production companies lack adequate experience when it comes to using smart networks. Even though, modular automation concepts with increasingly decentral distribution of control intelligence have already been around for some time. The decentral components – including safety controllers – communicate more and more via network technologies. However, many manufacturers and users hardly think about security issues. Cybercriminals use this fact to sabotage or extort companies, or to carry out espionage

In today’s world, manufacturers still depend heavily on the working hands of people. The skills that are in demand are extremely repetitive and potentially dangerous. With the added effect of current labor struggles, keeping talent in this environment is difficult to maintain. According to The Workforce Institute at UKG, 4 in 5 U.S. manufacturers are having difficulty keeping up with demand due to staff shortages and supply constraints1 . In real time, if a skilled worker decides not to come to work, eight hours of production time is wasted. These losses can be catastrophic for small to mid-sized manufacturers trying to keep up with demand while also attempting to outcompete global competitors.

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

Unexpected change costs in automotive manufacturing investment projects can quickly lead to spiraling costs and delays in production unless carefully managed. Any changes to production schedules and machinery must be meticulously planned. But without the correct information to base a plan, problems may multiply instead of being resolved.
