Digital transformation is having such a dramatic impact on manufacturing today that many experts such as Professor Klaus Schwab, executive chairman of the World Economic Forum, have dubbed this digital era the “fourth industrial revolution.” The digital manufacturing revolution is being powered by advancements such as smart manufacturing, robotics, artificial intelligence, automation and the Internet of Things (IoT).
The rising demand for smarter, customized products, Products-as-a-Service and “servitization”—the selling of a solution versus a single product—is forcing manufacturers to find new ways to incorporate product and customer data, and automation across the product lifecycle.
Digital manufacturing technologies are transforming every link in the manufacturing value chain, from the research and development supply chain.

To successfully leverage digital technologies fully, along with other data, analytics and cloud platforms, manufacturing companies need a globally, integrated interconnection framework upon which to collaborate and innovate. The best way to do that by placing manufacturing IT infrastructures and interconnection out at the digital edge, close to the components, IoT sensors, partners and customers that make up the manufacturing supply chain. And given that much of this data is collected and analyzed in the cloud, it is also vital to be close to cloud services, and the networks that enable direct and secure cloud access, as well.
This is where an Interconnection Oriented Architecture™ (IOA®) strategy can be a game changer for manufacturing companies. Learn more about IOA and read the full article here.
