How can Industry 4.0 advancements successfully sync with business transformation?
\\n
Join a hand-picked panel of engineering/enterprise leaders and service providers plus the HFS analyst team, led by Phil Fersht, who poses the following questions:
\\n
\\n - Digital engineering-led IT/OT convergence is not some sci-fi story\\u2014it\\u2019s essential for survival. Then why are we still struggling with \\u201cdigital transformation\\u201d?
\\n - Automation, AI, analytics, blockchain, IoT, AR/VR, 5G, quantum computing\\u2026 How do manufacturing organizations stay at the edge of innovation?
\\n - While digital aims to address the technical debt in Global 2000 manufacturing enterprises, how do we address the ballooning process debt and talent debt across the manufacturing value chain?
\\n - COVID-19 shined a light on our supply chains and illuminated the cracks that have always existed. How do we unshackle our supply chain? While engineering services have traditionally operated in a market of their own, will these services become closely linked with technology and business services as Industry 4.0 expands beyond the shop floor to the supply chain?
\\n - The Women\\u2019s Engineering Society reported Engineering UK figures that show women make up only 14.5% of all engineers in the UK. In the US, the Census Bureau says that women make up almost half of the workforce but have only 27% of the STEM jobs. How can we go about improving diversity within the engineering sector?
