IDC Technology Spotlight: The Importance of Manufacturing Automation for Digital Transformation

Increased competition and major disruptions can be treated as temporary headaches, or they can be viewed for what they are: the new normal. The way a manufacturer addresses today’s issues will make the difference between future success or failure.

The more a company has digitized and automated its processes, the easier it is to achieve innovation while responding to market changes. It’s the key to connecting business processes, eliminating silos, and leveraging analytics even during tumultuous times.

For the proof, a recent IDC survey found that digital manufacturers experienced a 26% increase in revenue performance vs. just 9% for nondigital manufacturers. The more modernized a company, the easier it is to streamline machine maintenance, quality management, talent management, and more.
