We talk about digital transformation when organizations adopt new and innovative ways of doing business to achieve value. Manufacturers are able to improve operational performance, increase revenue and maintain customer satisfaction. During this process, the use of digital tools establishes a radical rethinking of how an organization uses new technologies, people and processes to change the business performance.
Consider a global OEM that produces cars with the highest quality standards in its painting process; the materials and techniques used are superior. The level of automation and connectivity allows them to collect data from the shop floor. This raw data is filtered, classified and validated, resulting in clean and ready-to-use data by the digital tools.
