Session: The Smart Industry Readiness Index. A Research-based Approach to Planning Industry 4.0 Transformations
The value of Industry 4.0 transformations is well understood and documented. It is often the execution that can be frustrating. Choosing a course of action that focuses on the highest priorities for the business is clearly the correct process. However, the long list of potential benefits can make the choice confusing, potentially leading to inaction or technology-first pilots that stall and don’t deliver expected value at scale.
