Adoption Of Digital Technologies In The Manufacturing Sector

Abstract

Introduction: Manufacturing is important to a nation and its economy, and digitization of manufacturing will enhance the productivity and create new types of jobs. This sector is a big source of innovation and opportunities in the growing “clean economy.” However, the biggest challenge in digital manufacturing is to break the established roles and processes of the organization.

Method: The research approach is to identify the parameters, capabilities/skills and business values to measure ecosystems for IT investment in the manufacturing sector and identify mechanisms for pilot projects for scaling up and the challenges in adoption of digital technologies.

Results: The article tries to find out the capabilities, skills and mind sets which is needed in the organization for digital manufacturing and challenges for digital adoption using content- centric literature review on digital manufacturing.

Conclusion: Advanced manufacturing practices drives significant impact for the global footprints and portfolios. Digital systems will transform the design, manufacture and operation of the products and production systems
