Often MSMEs operating small-scale machine workshops struggle to map and prioritize their technology platform adoption needs, specifically, when they learn about broad concepts such as IT-OT integration, secure and seamless data extraction, and availability in cloud platforms for visualization and decision making. They get the concept but lack the analytical toolsets to quantify what it all means for them.
The perceived benefits through data visualization ( the “dashboarding” or “digital/virtual cockpit views”) and corresponding task-driven process automation involving connectors and middleware that promises to connect assets, machines, tooling, and sensors, should be quantified considering the on-field realities to justify funding.
