The digital transformation of which many are talking is not the digitization of traditional business functions but a reinvention of them. For companies to successfully implement that transformation, teams of stakeholders from different areas must be brought together. This session will focus on the essential component of digital transformation in manufacturing and how different companies approach this journey. Our speakers will also focus on the challenges customers face in their journey and provide examples of successful case studies.
