Software AG and the Made Smarter Technology Accelerator

Nadeem Malik, head of UK & Ireland at Software AG said: “The change that companies saw during 2020 was unprecedented, but we shouldn’t expect the need to quickly adapt and innovate to stop with the end of the Covid pandemic. We will always need new ideas, new ways of looking at challenges and new solutions to keep businesses moving in the right direction. The work of digital transformation is never done, which is why we’re committed to the Made Smarter Technology Accelerator programme, to help make sure that new ideas are given every opportunity to become reality.”

The importance of manufacturing innovation and adoption of technology:

Innovation and the adoption of digital initiatives should be a continual cycle and part of any manufacturing company’s business & strategic transformations. Manufacturers who are willing to commit to technology and digital innovation will see quicker returns as long as they advance beyond the pilot stages. 

Disruptions often effect the manufacturing sector in terms of supply chain and logistics. But recent events caused by the COVID-19 pandemic demonstrate the need for accelerating the shift towards advanced manufacturing, digital planning and more available access to in-house data to ensure continued operations. Never has there been more of a need for the connected and digitised worker. Manufacturers at the leading edge of IIoT have had their digital systems and operations pressurised by the pandemic in ways not seen ever before.  

Every company that wants to be agile has to embrace innovation and turn real-time insights into right-time actions. Combining current, real-time metrics with historical data to assess in an automated way if current processes are on-track — and to identify corrective steps if they’re not — is a valuable prospect for manufacturers today who face more scrutiny, disruptive elements and competition than ever. Digital is revolutionising business, and manufacturing is an industry that has the opportunity to reap the benefits of innovation and the adoption of technology.
