Many manufacturers are now at a critical turning point—transitioning from digital transformation toward smart manufacturing.
This is not just a technological upgrade, but a redefinition of enterprise competitiveness through the integration of IT and OT systems, enabling truly data-driven operations on the shop floor.
Digital transformation in manufacturing is not just about technology adoption — it represents a comprehensive transformation of workflows, decision-making, and problem-solving priorities.
This chapter explores three key aspects within workflows — people-related challenges, process optimization, and reliable service; and within decision-making — how organizational restructuring, value delivery, and decision architecture bring every decision closer to customer needs, business value, and long-term growth.
What Is a Manufacturing Execution System (MES)? If you’ve ever tried to juggle a dozen things at once on a
Based on our past experience, this article explains what digital transformation truly is, why it matters to your business, and provides a clear roadmap to guide you through the four key stages — Assess, Plan, Execute, and Future-proof — helping you take the first confident step toward transformation.
Digital Transformation (DX) is the process of using digital tools and technologies to restructure organizational operations, workflows, and business models in response to rapidly changing markets and customer demands.
It involves how enterprises leverage data, systems, and emerging technologies to redesign their processes, decision-making, and value chains.
Ultimately, digital transformation should not be treated as a one-time project, but as a long-term journey of continuous value creation. With the right guidance and methodology, manufacturers can move closer to sustainable, measurable transformation success.
We will gradually guide you to understand the differences between Digitization, Digital Optimization, and Digital Transformation.
