To explore what's driving this change and the progress that's being made Cognizant and Microsoft commissioned a survey of senior decision makers at 150 manufacturing organisations in both the UK and Ireland.
93% of the leading industrial manufacturers in our research told us they had a clear strategy for smart manufacturing, but levels of adoption and momentum vary.
Read our research to learn how employee welfare, sustainability goals and foundational technologies are influencing the push towards smart manufacturing, and how organisations are dealing with the risks and challenges that can prevent progress.
