Digital transformation expected to radically transform manufacturing in the future

HCMC – Given digital transformation taking place in every industry on a global scale, nearly 50% of all processes in the manufacturing sector will need to change in the next three-to-five years as the industry transitions to become fully digital, according to research recently released by ManpowerGroup and MxD USA.

The research, “The Future Factory: Mapping The Skills That Will Power Manufacturing”, describes the impact of digital transformation on the manufacturing sector and highlights the roles of innovation culture and other leadership skills to the business transformation success.

As the vanguard of digital transformation, the industry’s transition to complete digitization is already well underway and accelerating daily. In tandem with that process, new roles demanding advanced digital skills appear, while others become obsolete.

Since its inception, the manufacturing sector has undergone and evolved through four technical generations – Generations Zero to Three, with each generation having different eras of manufacturing tools, technologies and work. Experts said the sector was fully immersed in Gen Three in 2020, characterized by the transformational power of radical improvements in connected systems and machine learning.
