MachineMetrics guide offers advice on implementing Industry 4.0
- June 20, 2022
- Product Release
- Shop Management
MachineMetrics has published “The No Excuse Guide to IIoT,” an e-book that outlines the most common objections manufacturers cite when contemplating the deployment of Industry 4.0 in their shops.
Digital transformation, driven by IIoT, can help manufacturers gain the agility, innovation, and continuous improvement they need to overcome challenges such as skilled labor shortages, increased market competition, and ongoing supply chain disruptions.
Many manufacturers are reluctant to adopt IIoT because of a statistically high failure rate among pilot programs or a fear that their organizations are not ready to digitize. The guide addresses these concerns and offers advice to help manufacturers pursue digital transformation with confidence.
