Digital disruption is transforming businesses and industries like never
before, with 40% of incumbent businesses expected to be displaced by 2020,
according to Cisco and IMD. The fourth industrial revolution –involving the
hyper-connected world of people; processes; data, and things – is set to create
unprecedented value for business, individuals and industries at large. For
manufacturers, the ability to move certain operations to the cloud, as well as
the growth of the internet of things (IoT), has started to create substantial
efficiencies and cost savings across the entire value chain. We project that
$383bn of the total industry opportunity will come from connected products
and machines, and new service models over the coming decade. Manufacturers
have already started embracing digitization to improve efficiencies, with new
applications such as machine as-a-service; predictive maintenance; quality
control; plant efficiency, and customer engagement, helping to significantly
improve operational costs, production uptime and overall productivity. Cisco’s
latest survey reveals that since using predictive maintenance, 87% of senior
manufacturing decision makers in more than 13 countries saw a positive
impact on overall equipment effectiveness.
