- The rise of global manufacturing networks and capabilities driven by demanding customers.
- A functionality-shift from hardware to software and IoT that is accelerating time to market.
- The need to optimize and manage physical networks to increase flexibility and reduce operating costs.
- The importance of supporting end-to-end Manufacturing Operations Management to improve quality and controls.
