Presentation Title:
Industry 4.0 - From Buzzword to Reality
Manufacturers worldwide are challenged by the many new developments of technologies, concepts and initiatives. Tangible benefits are often not obvious, and companies don't know where to start and how to leverage on Industry 4.0 systematically. The Smart Industry Readiness Index (SIRI) has been developed to establish a common language and understanding of Industry 4.0 within and among companies to catalyse the digital transformation of the whole manufacturing sector. With over 300 assessments worldwide and the recognition by the World Economic Forum as the go-to framework for Industry 4.0 transformation, SIRI is becoming the global standard. In our presentation we will present a brief overview of the framework, its application and the main insights into different industry segments with a focus on electronics and semicon industry.
