Episode Description
Welcome to Becoming Digitally Resilient with IDC Industry Thought Leadership. Today's episode: Becoming Digitally Resilient in the Manufacturing Industry – The Resilient Supply Chain, Again. By 2022, 50% of manufacturers will accelerate the deployment of service robots to better manage specific operational tasks, leading to 15% cost reductions and improved supply chain responsiveness. By 2023, manufacturers will reduce onsite personnel by 30%, utilizing Machine Vision and AR / VR to scale offsite expertise to onsite, delivering engineering and maintenance support from anywhere. With the recent disruptions in the global supply chain, on top of the usual risk of disruptions, companies are re-assessing how they select suppliers, where those suppliers are located and how critical suppliers are to specific operations. IDC Manufacturing Insights experts Simon Ellis and Jordan Speer discuss how companies are adjusting their supply chain strategies and what role technology plays in those strategies. Next week, Becoming Digitally Resilient with IDC Industry Thought Leadership continues our focus on Digitally Resiliency in Manufacturing. Stay tuned! We welcome your comments and questions.
