As a manufacturer, you’re likely facing pressure to increase productivity, improve efficiency, reduce waste, improve quality, decrease operating costs, and meet regulatory requirements – all while ensuring orders ship on time.
To address these business challenges, you’ve probably dabbled in ways to digitize data collection or incorporated some of the latest IIoT technologies in your production process, but experienced little-to-no success. Or maybe you’ve deployed individual software solutions to address single gaps with some success, but also created data silos that require integration to understand context.
To make real progress, you need a digital transformation strategy that leverages a proven approach, best practices, and a best-in-class MES platform.
In this white paper, we layout best practices for developing and deploying a digital transformation strategy using an approach that includes the following steps:
- Identifying business drivers
- Defining requirements and aligning stakeholders
- Developing an agile implementation plan
- Implementing a technology stack designed to evolve
- Identifying a trusted partner to guide you along the way
