Five Tips for a Successful Digital Transformation (from MetalForming’s July Digital Issue) |
Mo Abuali, managing partner of IoTCo, co-authors Five Tips for a Successful Digital Transformation, one of many features in MetalForming’s special July digital issue detailing approaches to Industry 4.0, and summarizes well the coming digital era of manufacturing: “A manufacturer’s digital maturity,” says Abuali, “goes far beyond simply deploying new technology, by aligning the company’s overall strategy with people, process and technology to meet the expectations of both customers and employees. Four key elements comprise a digital strategy: the business case, connectivity, analytics, and technology selection and adoption.”
MetalForming devised the content of this special digital issue (set to email on July 9 and again on July 22, and available on our website, with the intent of guiding metal formers and fabricators in their efforts to leverage information technology to better navigate the ‘new normal.’ |
