The manufacturing sector is no exception to this trend. New technologies are reshaping businesses on the factory floor and within the c-suite.Although the pandemic has been the challenge of a lifetime for most manufacturers, it's forced many to adapt by fast-tracking digital transformation initiatives across all domains. Technologies like cloud computing, robotic process automation, low-code development, and others are at the center of this digital evolution, giving manufacturers endless opportunities to explore new solutions.Consumer demands shift just as fast as technology evolves, which makes it difficult for manufacturers to act quickly to provide in-demand products and services. At the very least, modern customers expect same-day delivery, personalized products and services, and transparent delivery processes. But differentiating your business and staying globally competitive requires high levels of agility and flexibility that traditional business models don't support.Instead, consumer-driven manufacturing focuses on anticipating the needs of those using your products. But how is that possible? By integrating new technologies and capabilities -- such as data analytics, the internet of things (IoT), artificial intelligence (AI), and countless others -- into your existing systems and software.Manufacturers can implement strategies like digital quality control, asset location monitoring, and automated replenishments of materials to increase operational efficiency and more quickly deliver products to consumers. With these technologies, users and stakeholders can choose their own digital engagement experiences.The manufacturing industry operates in highly siloed environments and many organizations still rely on manual, time-consuming processes. Hyperautomation takes over human-run tasks and makes operations more transparent. While technology handles the repetitive, yet crucial workflows, your human workforce can focus on more complex tasks, like driving innovation.The transformation to a hyperconnected, digital-first enterprise can't happen overnight. Digital transformation is a significant undertaking for any business, especially for manufacturers with manual processes, legacy systems, and siloed operations and data. But low-code development and multiexperience platforms can fast-track the transformation process.Let us know your thoughts.Joe PhillipManaging Editoreditor@cioapplications.comJoe PhillipGraphics & ArtEditorial StaffBen JacksonDaniel HolmesEzra BenjaminCatalina JosephRose DcruzSenior WritersClara MathewLeah JaneRoyce D'SouzaAsher BlakeDisclaimer: *Some of the Insights are based on our interviews with CIOs and CXOs
