Getting SMARTER COMPANIES ENGAGE WITH DIGITAL TECHNOLOGY

摘要

Survey shows more manufacturers are investing in the future. Canadian manufacturers are not technology leaders. Most are small, so they are inclined to follow once a technology is proven and the costs come down. The 2021 Advanced Manufacturing Outlook survey, conducted by Toronto research firm RK Insights for Annex Business Media publications Canadian Manufacturing and PLANT Magazine, shows companies are more engaged with Industry 4.0 and the "smart factory" than last year's survey respondents, but they have concerns. And there are still those who are reluctant to adopt or are not interested.
