Ready for ROI: Monetization Readiness for realizing Digital Manufacturing Strategy

Digitalization is creating new opportunities but also new challenges for the manufacturing industry. Even though most companies are developing advanced Data and AI technical capabilities, they lack the capability and infrastructure for monetizing these solutions and generating ROI. In fact, a large proportion of the ongoing Data and AI use-cases cannot be integrated in the existing core business models. The current business infrastructure, capabilities and ways of working are too rigid and incompatible with a data-driven digital manufacturing strategy.
