The difference the cloud is making to smart manufacturing
At a time when modernization and keeping up with the pace of change is vital, many manufacturers turn to customized on-premise software solutions to address their challenges. However, siloed data, complex integrations, expensive management and other issues mean these businesses are increasingly losing out to those running in the cloud.
In the third part of our new whitepaper with Frost & Sullivan, we explore the importance of moving industrial operations towards a cloud-first strategy, including:
- How cloud-based Software-as-a-Service enables data-driven, consolidated smart manufacturing
- The value of a SaaS solution’s support team at a time when hiring in-house IT staff is harder than ever
- How advanced analytics and machine learning allows employees to make better decisions, faster, whether they’re on the plant floor or not
