Running a successful manufacturing operation is challenging. In today's fast-paced world, financial pressures, political uncertainties and customer expectations seem to increase daily. Manufacturers need to adopt a digital mind-set if they are to survive. This digital transformation will enable businesses to become more mobile and agile. Innovative technologies, such as the cloud, can deliver access to real-time data anytime, anywhere. Manufacturers will be able to see a unified view of their business, with integrated front and back-office processes.

The government's ambitious Made Smarter review into industrial digitalisation sets out the significant opportunities to be gained by adopting such technologies.
