10 main messages I took from #hm24 HANNOVER MESSE 1. Futuristic "#scifi" solutions are finding their way to the #shopfloor, manufacturing is becoming more attractive for talent 2. Large manufacturers world-wide build #pilot factories to test new digitization use cases, increasingly finding good #RoI and #scalable solutions 3. The #cost of #digital solutions for #manufacturing is dropping, but manufacturing #SMEs are have been left out in awe, still rarely finding sufficient RoI 4. The data use cases in manufacturing arise with ongoing digitization, partnerships, #datasharing, and manufacturers are learning to work with external SaaS IT and #digitalplatforms 5. The landscape of IT / data suppliers is complex and manufacturers often struggle to find the right suppliers. Growing #networks of verified solutions such as EIT Manufacturing or #EDIH but also trusted experienced consultants can help mainly SMEs to navigate the space 6. #AI disrupts a range of manufacturing company functions. The most significant may soon be an AI-powered #Manufacturingexecutionsystem with no CAPEX 100x faster than in 2020.
