Top Challenges Facing Many Industrial Leaders
When planning for industrial transformation (IX), a crucial first step is implementing data connectivity. Industrial Ieaders must be fully engaged in this transformational process. If not, their programs will fall apart. There are a number of roadblocks leaders have reported they’ve faced when planning their industrial transformation initiatives.
Poor Data Quality
Data science teams spend 80% of their time on data scrubbing instead of data analysis.
80%
People, process, and security issues are now in the forefront; challenges with technology are taking a backseat.
Alignment Across Departments
Legacy systems don’t integrate with implementations and can’t be ripped and replaced since they’re too integral to workflows.

Scalable IX Starts with Data Connectivity
Scaling connectivity is possible when leaders develop flexible systems across all processes in their facilities. Half of industrial enterprises surveyed report they have embarked on an industrial transformation (IX) journey, realizing a number of benefits, with data at the core. Foundational to an IX program is establishing a fundamental technology that drives the organization’s connectivity initiative. IX leaders are seeing increased revenues, lower cost of goods sold (COGS), and increased operating margins as a result of their IX programs. Hover below for more info.

Key Steps
to Achieve IX
Leaders understand that without transforming there is no scaling. Here are the steps they recommend for implementing successful industrial transformation (IX) programs.
Step 2
IX leaders recommend having members of the team with a deep understanding of operations as well as technology.
IX leaders are 3x more likely to build internal expertise across IT and OT with CIO’s as the program leads.

Step 5
Step 1
Industrial leaders recommend budgeting more for IX and are 450% more likely to have a three (3) year budget of $100MM+.
Step 2
Industrial leaders who found a 61% increase Y-o-Y in organizational issues among their top challenges recommend re-imagining business processes to establish improvements.
Step 3
To maximize buy-in, industrial leaders recommend doing IX programs with plant personnel, welcoming input, and listening to solutions from all levels to create a culture shift.
