Digitization is the ‘Next Normal’ of Industry 4.0 Four Practical Steps You Can Take to Get Ready Now

If

you would have asked me in January what I would be doing on June 15th, I would have told you I would be sitting in an uncomfortable chair listening to a presentation at a conference

in Houston on how we will run our plants from a mobile phone. Today, I am sitting in my living room (again) switching between webinars and Outlook trying to make sense of a new world with

a new strategy and a new (lower) budget. We are faced with a “next normal,” and there is no changing that. What we can change is how we do business. This is an opportunity to rethink the way we work. One of the bright sides of COVID-19 has been the “forced adoption” of digital and remote work. While we have changed the way we embrace technology, we also have changed our expectation of what can get done this year.
