Industry 4.0 promises great increase in productivity and profitability. This presentation covers the basics of this new manufacturing approach and it separates facts from fiction.
7. Manufacturing and
distribution are now
commodities
Technology is easy to
copy
New entrants from
unforeseen markets
More choices than
ever
This is so one month
ago!
8. Tougher than ever to do business
It feels like we’re at a breaking
point…
9. How can my company build a lasting
competitive advantage?
15. The capabilities of machines are not being
fully realized. The inefficiencies that persist
are now much greater at the system level,
rather than at the individual machine level.
Complexity has outstripped the ability of
human operators to identify and reduce these
inefficiencies.
