Industry 4.0 in Action! Highlights from the Cisco Manufacturing Summit

It takes a village

One of the hardest parts about “Industry 4.0” is that no one has it completely figured out. There’s no “official” guide we can follow with detailed instructions. And what works for some manufacturers, might not work for others. This is because Industry 4.0 is not a destination with a finite “finish line”. Industry 4.0 is a journey that is unique to every organization and subject to change at any time. For these reasons, we like to say it truly takes a village to make digital transformation work by learning from each other’s experiences, best practices, and success. This year’s Cisco Manufacturing Summit in Atlanta, GA provided an open forum for executives, innovative solution providers, industry experts, and thought leaders to discuss the critical technology issues affecting today’s manufacturing organizations.
