Struggling to deliver on the promise of digital operations?
Both discrete and process manufacturers face unprecedented demands, from sky-high customer expectations to the drive for sustainability.
They need to boost efficiency, flexibility and safety to survive in a world of growing economic, environmental and regulatory pressures. To gain the visibility and control they need, they must push beyond single-site, “Industry 4.0” digitization efforts and optimize the entirety of their production, workforce and supply chain networks.
But with operations and assets spanning the globe, hampered by legacy technology, transforming can become a real challenge.
Let’s push for “intelligence everywhere”
With market-leading expertise and a top-tier partner ecosystem, we specialize in connecting and optimizing not just a few, but all factories, plants, and sites of our clients.
Production & Operations combines a range of disciplines to bring you holistic, large-scale transformation:
- IT/OT integration
- Big data and real-time analytics
- IIoT and sensor technology
- Machine learning and AI
- Digital twin/thread and more
By embedding intelligence into the entirety of our clients‘ operations, we deliver EBITDA improvements of up to 30% along with a stronger foundation for future success.
Seizing the benefits of digital at scale
Sustainability, legacy technologies, IT/OT integration, change management, cross-department collaboration and scaling digital transformation across assets, sites and networks are top challenges manufacturers are facing. We help them to get towards...
