Major Challenges for Manufacturers
Vast amounts of data from sensors, machinery, and operations, making its efficient collection, storage, and meaningful analysis a challenge.
Global events, unexpected demand surge, inaccurate demand prediction, and uncertainties can disrupt supply chains, leading to issues like delays, overproduction, underproduction and shortages.
Customers expect personalized experiences with high-quality products delivered quickly, which is has become a challenge for traditional manufacturers.
Manufacturers handle sensitive company, production, and customer data. Data breaches can cause financial losses, legal consequences, and reputational damage.
Lack expertise for integrating new technologies like AI, IoT, and automation with existing legacy systems is a complex task.
