Recent disruptions in production, from climate change events to the COVID-19 pandemic, have disrupted value chains in unprecedented ways, increasing pressure on operational costs. Research shows that early adopters of digital technologies are better at adapting to disruptions, yet initiatives to digitize operations often stagnate before they even start.
Why? While the benefits of digitalizing industrial operations are clear, the cost and effort of full-scale digitalization can outweigh estimated benefits, especially for an industry characterized by tight product margins and ever-changing marketplaces.
