With UK manufacturing going through what is defined as an industrial revolution, brought about by the rise in data volumes, the emergence of sophisticated business analytics, human-machine collaboration and robotic and additive manufacturing, it is no wonder that many manufacturers and distributors are finding it difficult to navigate through the jargon to really get to grips with how to integrate business technology systems to drive better performance.
According to NexSys, a leading provider of advanced Enterprise Resource Planning (ERP) solutions for manufacturers and supply chain across the UK, manufacturers need to embrace the new industrial revolution, known as Industry 4.0, or risk falling behind. But the question asked by many business leaders is how?
Integrating systems and processes can seem complicated, a perception that NexSys is keen to dispel as it launches an eBook ‘How to manufacture a smarter factory with SYSPRO ERP, designed to take the confusion out of Industry 4.0 and technology advancements, answering the ‘how’ through expert advice and real-life business examples.
Cathie Hall, Managing Director of NexSys, said: “We are providing an expert’s guide for companies to stay ahead of the competition in a disruptive and fast evolving marketplace. Industry 4.0 is creating unprecedented opportunities for businesses to connect with each other in real time.
