How can Industry 4.0 advancements successfully sync with business transformation?  

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:  

  • Digital engineering-led IT/OT convergence is not some sci-fi story—it’s essential for survival. Then why are we still struggling with “digital transformation”? 
  • Automation, AI, analytics, blockchain, IoT, AR/VR, 5G, quantum computing… How do manufacturing organizations stay at the edge of innovation? 
  • 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? 
  • 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? 
  • The Women’s 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?
