The urgency to develop and deploy effective Industry 4.0 strategies has never been greater, as companies need to transform their organizations to stay ahead of the competition digitally.

Recent findings from a major manufacturing and supply chain industry survey firm reveal that more than half of executives (61%) recognize the importance of Industry 4.0 as a competitive differentiator.
