Over the last two to three decades, cloud computing and software-as-a-service (SaaS) have been increasingly gaining momentum in their adoption. More and more IT departments, CIOs, CFOs, CEOs and many other disciplines are now realising the extraordinary business benefits of Cloud/SaaS over their traditional in-house client-server IT architectures.
Many industries have embraced the push for digital transformation in recent years to meet the increasing demands for high levels of safety and traceability across global supply chains. The food and beverage industry is no different.
Manufacturing has a history of moving at a glacial pace when adopting new technology such as cloud-based solutions, but cloud is not new anymore. In recent years, cloud computing and SaaS (Software-as-a-Service) have begun to dominate.
Automation has been the driving force behind manufacturing advancement, dating back decades. Replacing physical tasks with automation has served as the bridge taking industries into the era of mass production that we know today.
Manufacturers need to put more emphasis on sustainable practices rather than just focusing on the banal objectives of efficiency and productivity improvements.
With the global semiconductor shortage impacting the automotive sector, vehicle makers and their suppliers have had to reduce production or temporarily close down factories. InfinityQS believes that manufacturers need to effectively capitalise on this rare downtime opportunity to focus on shop floor digital transformation initiatives which have previously proved challenging due to potential production disruption, workforce training scheduling and scarce resource availability.
Following the concerns bought about by the Covid pandemic, over half of manufacturers now have their sights set on digital transformation initiatives to enhance their operational performance, according to research from InfinityQS.
According to Jason Chester, Director of Global Channel Programs at InfinityQS, despite the challenging environment, now is the time that industry leaders should be proactively investing in strategic digital transformation projects that drive technical innovation and prioritise skills training, as this will determine the sector’s competitiveness in the future.
