The State of Smart Manufacturing 2023 with Becky Kelderman, Digital Transformation Executive of Rockwell Automation

Published on: 19th July, 2023

The world has changed and Manufacturing has changed with it, but there is more to do! As Manufacturers continue to seek opportunities for profitable growth, they are finding that uncertainty in workforce availability is impacting quality, along with their ability to meet their customers’ needs and transform at pace. They are addressing this impact by using technology to extract data from their operations and assemble actionable insights.

In this special, I am joined by the brilliant Becky Kelderman, Digital Transformation Executive of Rockwell Automation as we dive deep into the growth opportunities the Smart Manufacturing industry is facing, and share some 'nuggets of wisdom' from Rockwell's insights packed current "State of the Smart Manufacturing Report" produced in association with Sapio Research and which is freely available here:
