According Industrial Journalist TR Cutler Digital Manufacturing Strategy Unlocks Real Value
Global spending on digital transformation technologies and services reached more than $1 trillion last year according to industrial journalist, TR Cutler. This technology spending will continue to be led by the discrete and process manufacturing industries.
The problems that digitalization solves are central to the challenges manufacturers face today. Manufacturers are under competitive pressure to deliver better goods at lower costs. They must reduce costs and streamline processes in supply chains and factories. These lean manufacturing approaches are simultaneous intersecting with customers who are asking for more unique features in the products purchased. Customization versus standard products are often difficult trade-offs with implications in design processes, production costs, and schedules.
Cutler, throughout 2019, is writing about the ways in which digital transformation is impacting the way manufacturers are using technology to plan, procure, produce, and distribute products. Digital transformation is the strategic, enterprise-wide application of digitalization to both improve a business’ entire system of production, procurement, sales, operations, human resources, and financial management, as well as completely transform the way a manufacturer makes money and delivers value to customers.
