In a world of smart, connected products, where entire markets can vanish with a single innovation, manufacturers must take a new approach to business. Some closely watch how products are being used, and feed data back from product utilization into product ideation and development in order to anticipate trends. But even if you know what to make, you still have to make it. That’s why manufacturing – the realization phase of innovation – is vital in this new era.Manufacturers must weave a digital thread through ideation, realization and utilization. It’s not enough to digitize. That just mimics processes digitally for incremental improvement. You have to digitalize.
