The 1980s saw the Western World’s academics and manufacturers cast their eyes eastward to the miracle of Japanese manufacturing. Specifically, its low cost, high quality, and low stock. As a result, Japanese products were successfully flooding the Western World’s market and were seen as “World Class”.

The manufacturing industry has always been shaped by technology. Today, the convergence of digital technologies with physical machinery is the primary driver of technology-led change in the sector, but there are signs that European manufacturers are slow on the uptake. To examine the opportunities and challenges this convergence presents, and to understand the role of technology executives in leading the organisational transformation required to capitalise on it, The Economist Intelligence Unit interviewed executives from three manufacturers pursuing digital transformation.

In today’s manufacturing companies, CAD, PLM and ERP solutions are traditionally implemented as stand-alone solutions, which each has its own data structure, interface and capabilities to fulfill Engineering, Operations and Manufacturing requirements respectively. However, with the rise of Industry 4.0, for manufacturers to stay competitive they must be able to implement solutions that interconnect information and processes not only across the internal enterprise and departments but external partners and suppliers as well.

The roadmap commitments now indicate the manufacturing industry’s readiness to work towards net zero. There are however conditions required for the manufacturing sector to reach the net zero goal and fully realise the opportunities presented by the net zero ambition. A deeply or fully decarbonised power supply, reliable, in sufficiency and at a reasonable cost is one of these conditions. This includes the development of a hydrogen network that reaches not only industrial clusters but also dispersed manufacturing sites.

Developing products for an increasingly complex world certainly challenges or even exceeds engineering capabilities. Many factors impact complexity such as connectivity, security, safety, product variants, development velocity, reliability and quality,Many argue tha the major driver to better manage this complexity is the engineering paradigm of Industry 4.0.

For decades, energy-intensive commodity businesses for paper and packaging aimed for better process control, leading to higher product quality with less energy consumption. This would help to both reduce costs and maintain a healthier environment. A plethora of concepts and devices were invented to control the production and verify or predict the product quality. This approach had some measure of success, but it had its limits.
