Optimize your resources with for Manufacturing

The automotive and mobility industry is no different and in fact, is heavily impacted by the move from physical to digital. This intersection of boundaries is also seen as the shift towards a “software culture”, that promises to usher in an unprecedented convergence of people, business, and things that disrupt existing business models and create new revenue opportunities in the movement of people and goods.

With a myriad of supply chain issues, rising inflation, and a labor market that is undergoing a generational transition, manufacturers continue to face unprecedented disruption, only compounded by the continued ripples of COVID-19. In addition to this, rising energy costs are testing the resilience of energy-intensive manufacturers in Europe and Japan, with some shutting down production lines, and in some cases, entire factories.

Many manufacturers have been on a multi-year transformation journey to a sustainable and responsible operation, which has already yielded energy savings and carbon reduction. To adapt to the current environment, they are looking to their existing technology investments to identify areas where they can quickly optimize costs while maintaining production levels and sustainability commitments.
