Smart manufacturing is the goal - but where do you start?
Digital transformation is essential for maintaining competitiveness in the manufacturing industry
There is a consensus in the industry that digital transformation in the manufacturing industry is essential for maintaining competitiveness in global competition.
After all, this is the only way to master the challenges of today, such as supply chain disruptions, rising energy costs, production downtime, etc.
The manufacturing industry lacks a strategy for digitization
The difference between theory and practice: Despite the realization of the need for digitization, little is invested in digitization in industry.
There is a lack of a strategy for digitization, tools to measure success, and concrete process steps needed to develop into a digital factory.

Mitsubishi Electric has recorded numerous successes in digital transformations for its clients
Improvement of production efficiency by +30% by analysing the line's workflows
Problem definition: Low production efficiency and uncontrollable cost management - work speed and errors vary among the workers
Implementation: Implementation of support tools for the assembly process, demonstrating the procedure, and gather/analyze data on working hours and errors in the workplace.
Result: Significant cost reductions by improving work efficiency through minimising operating errors
