In the rapidly evolving landscape of U.S. manufacturing, digital transformation is essential for maintaining competitiveness and driving growth. Despite significant investments in new factory construction, most of the digital transformation in the U.S. will happen in existing factories with an installed base of legacy technology. Additionally, the industry faces other challenges such as siloed operations, workforce and skills shortages, and complex integration of advanced technologies.
