Smart manufacturing and industry 4.0: White Paper

Manufacturers come in all shapes and sizes, so naturally there can never be a ‘one-size-fits-all’ approach to rolling out Smart Factory solutions.

This white paper aims to debunk any notion that you need to be a large manufacturer with a huge IT budget to realize any of the documented business benefits such as a 20% increase in asset efficiency, 30% improved product quality or a 30% reduction in costs.

We’ll focus on:

• What is Smart Manufacturing and how does it relate to Industry 4.0?
• The key challenges facing manufacturers that relate to the need for Smart Factories.
• What are the specific use cases where Smart Manufacturing could make an impact and how to get started?
• What really matters when choosing your Smart Factory solution partner?
