Adopting digital capabilities for smart manufacturing
Accelerating the adoption of digital technology could increase operational efficiency and boost competitiveness. Processes that are better connected and more secure, reliable and predictive on the shop floor enable the physical world (devices, materials, products, machinery, etc) to be linked to the digital world to create a robotised, intelligent industry. -
Implementing the digital supply chain
The traditional supply chain model is evolving into an interconnected, dynamic, digital and globally diversified network. Technology is being used to make better decisions with real-time information, foster network-wide collaboration and provide greater transparency. -

Connected and remote worker
As digitalisation transforms manufacturing processes, the way workers perform their jobs is also changing. Remote working was an early success story for business continuity in the pandemic, and today, hybrid working models continue to evolve. A key factor in maintaining the employee health and safety, as well as attracting and retaining talent. -
Protection against cyberattacks
Increasing threats are driving the industry to turn cybersecurity into essential risk management. In this respect, not only prevention is necessary, but also preparedness for timely detection and response to a cyber-attack. The growth of IT, OT and external networks requires more controls. This includes the increasing movement of the workforce.
