Rethink: Accelerating Digital Transformation in B2B Manufacturing

The power of data orchestration to unlock new opportunities for innovation, sustainability, and AI. In today’s dynamic manufacturing environment, digital transformation is imperative. Manufacturers must streamline processes, shorten time-to-market, and adapt to changing customer needs. Configuration Lifecycle Management is key, enabling digitization, minimizing custom engineering, and transforming product delivery methods. Gartner states: “Strategic Planning Assumption (SPA): By 2026, configuration lifecycle management will transform 40% of manufacturers, reducing the amount of customer-specific engineering required to deliver products.”* This presentation will address the urgent need for manufacturers to revamp their digital transformation strategies. Henrik will explore orchestrating product data for a comprehensive, error-free data model, crucial for trends like sustainable product configurations and AI adoption. Henrik will also discuss AI’s transformative potential for configuration technology, including Virtual Tabulation®, urging manufacturers to embrace the digital future. *Source: Gartner Report: Gartner, Top Strategic Technology Trends in Asset-Intensive Manufacturing for 2023, by Analyst(s): Alexander Hoeppe, Jonathan Davenport, Sudip Pattanayak, Simon Jacobson, Marc Halpern, Arjun Boparai, Christian Hestermann, Published 31 March 2023.GARTNER is a registered trademark and service mar k of Gartner, Inc. and/or its affiliates in the U.S. and internationally and is used herein with permission.
