During the seminar, the speakers have mentioned that the traditional manufacturing industry is in the throes of a digital transformation that is accelerated by exponentially growing technologies. The pace of change reflects ‘Moore’s law’ on the speed at which information technology-driven change happens. Companies and their industrial processes need to adapt to this rapid change if they are not to be left behind by developments in their sector and by their competitors. The widespread adoption by manufacturing industry around the world of information and communications technology is now paving the way of disruptive approaches to development, production and the entire logistics chain.
