In line with the Digital Awards collaboration with SwissCham Singapore, the monthly webinar on the DX Leaders Series was conducted on Tuesday, 17th August 2021 @ 5 – 6pm.
Episode 3 of DX Leaders Series allowed insight into the latest developments in global manufacturing and what pivotal role cybersecurity plays in securing business safety and continuity.
Three centuries ago, Industry 1.0 introduced water and steam powered machines that supported economies of scale. Machine technology has only gotten better through the centuries, as the introduction of electricity and automation further enhanced the speed and mass production capabilities of manufacturing machinery. Today, we are in the fourth iteration of the industrial revolution – with progressive technology such as the Internet of Things, Artificial Intelligence, and Big Data Analytics Security elevating automation and efficiency to a whole new level and ushering in a new era of smart manufacturing.
Manufacturers today are focusing on driving agility across the value chain as they leverage progressive technology. But rising technology adoption across the manufacturing value chain serves as a double-edged sword: Along with this comes numerous cybersecurity threats and vulnerabilities to address. How, then, should manufacturers build future-proof factories that are as smart as they are sustainable? And how can leaders step in to ensure that digitalisation across the manufacturing value chain is done responsibly – with sustainability in mind?
The talk gave some insights on sustainable best practices and innovations addressing Industry 4.0 connectivity and cybersecurity requirements on the topic – “ Unleashing the Power of the Smart Factory”.
The episode delved into how to develop smart factories and how DX leaders can play a part in creating and implementing sustainable structures and patterns.
DX Leaders was hosted by Andreas Enderlin, Chair of Digital Transformation Award and Lars Voedisch, Founder & Managing Director, PRecious Communications.
