製造業におけるデジタル変革プロジェクトが失敗する主な3つの理由（およびその回避方法）
Digital transformation (DX) is a journey, not a destination, requiring manufacturing businesses and those who lead them to ensure they have the right strategy and people in place to not only execute key digital initiatives, but to optimise them along the way. With the International Data Corporation (IDC) forecasting that the global DX spend among manufacturers will total more than $816 billion this year, it’s clear that the move towards Industry 4.0 is a key priority for manufacturing business owners, and it needs to be, as the very viability of their businesses hinges on the success of key digital initiatives. There is a heightened sense of urgency for manufacturing owners […]

共に強くなる – 人間と人工知能は協力して業務の卓越性を実現します
世界経済フォーラムによると、米国の労働者の約5人に1人が、AIによって自分たちが時代遅れになるのではないかと懸念しています。この不安は「FOBO（陳腐化への恐怖）」と呼ばれ、私たちが生み出すイノベーションやテクノロジーによって人間が不要になるという懸念を意味します。しかし、賢明な製造業のリーダーたちは、AIが業務に応用され、特に人間の知能と組み合わせることで、変革をもたらす力を持っていることを認識しています。製造業のリーダーたちは、現代の課題に対応するため、リーン生産方式、品質管理、サプライチェーンの最適化を通じて、オペレーションの卓越性（OPEX）の追求を優先していますが、AIほどこの分野での進歩を促進するツールはほとんどありません。[…]

インダストリー4.0時代の持続可能な製造業におけるデータのプライバシーとセキュリティ
Industry 4.0 is widely recognised to have originated in 2011, and now, after over ten years, the manufacturing sector is well and truly in the midst of a data-driven revolution. According to a World Economic Forum whitepaper, Industry 4.0 will spur enterprises to join forces in interconnected value networks to leverage data and analytics applications to fuel productivity, cultivate new customer experiences, and make a significant impact on society and the environment. According to Gary Coleman, Global Industry and Senior Client Advisor, Deloitte Consulting has said that “the Fourth Industrial Revolution is still in its nascent state,” but as this era unfolds further, it will continue to unlock an unprecedented amount of […]
マイクロファクトリー：小規模で高度に自動化された工場が製造業の未来である理由
It is no question that Industry 4.0 digital transformation has significantly altered the manufacturing landscape. Technologies like artificial intelligence (AI) and automation enable manufacturers to boost operational efficiency, achieving a significant lift in productivity (up to a 15% to 30% increase) and a significant reduction in downtime (a decrease between 30% and 50%). These technological innovations have also led to the wider emergence of microfactories. Microfactories are smaller factories that leverage cutting-edge tools and solutions to gain a competitive advantage while offering new levels of flexibility and scalability that larger, conventional factories struggle to achieve. Using AI, machine learning, big data, and other innovative technologies has made waste elimination, process […]
次世代製造工場のエンドツーエンドのデジタル変革を監督するための6つのステップ
Manufacturing facilities worldwide are becoming much more capable, enabling organisations to improve operational efficiency, engage with stakeholders in real time, and strengthen collaboration among departments. As such, more organisational leaders are seeking end-to-end digital approaches for their own manufacturing plants and facilities in a bid to push the boundaries of innovation. However, cut-throat competition, more environmentally conscious customers, and an ever-evolving regulatory landscape have made feasible digital transformation a challenging endeavour. For leaders looking to avoid the pitfalls that plague most digital transformation projects, the following six steps can help. 1) Identify your goals Begin at the end. It’s important to understand, and agree upon, as an organisation what your […]
デジタルトランスフォーメーションが繊維製造業の生産性をどのように向上させるか
Textiles are an integral part of everyday life. From clothes and furnishing to bedding and medical textiles like Personal Protective Equipment and surgical masks, it’s virtually impossible to do without them. To meet this demand while grappling with supply chain issues and rising costs of energy, textile manufacturers have had to find ways to improve productivity by creating more with less – and digital transformation could be the key. Why is digital transformation important to the textiles industry? The productivity crisis in manufacturing has worsened in recent years, and this is especially true for the textiles industry. Three factors play a big part in this. Firstly, the textile supply chain […]
製造業におけるデジタルトランスフォーメーションが現場のインテリジェンスを実現し、業務改善を実現する方法
Manual processes often result in siloed departments, as manufacturing and quality managers are often physically checking products and processes and recording their findings with pen and paper. This information may or may not reach the organisation’s decision-makers, leading to transparency issues. With the use of Industrial Internet of Things (IIoT), manufacturers can create a digital manufacturing floor and establish shopfloor intelligence from the get-go. With proper support, shopfloor intelligence can drive significant savings with better-quality products as it reduces risk of warranty issues, create streamlined and efficient processes, and reduce waste. 4 benefits of shopfloor intelligence – and how to integrate these into your facility There are four main benefits […]
