Industrial machine builders are looking for ways to digitally transform their business. But to be successful in this, these builders must meet two key requirements. First, both their operations and machines must be fully sensored and connected to a digital platform that can deliver new functions, capabilities, and value—both to the builder, and their industrial customers.
Second, machine builders must carefully plan and execute a strategy so that this connectivity provides improved customer value.
