Technology has now become an inseparable part of everyday life, including in large industries such as manufacturing. Even in the era of the Industrial Revolution 4.0, the manufacturing industry is required to become a technology company in order to develop.
If we jump to 2021, all of them are technology companies. So actually a company that wants to survive, that wants to grow has become a technology company. It's just that the service products are different.
Currently, technology company is not just a term for companies that specialize in technology such as Microsoft, Google and others, but for all companies that use technology to survive.
Currently there are several challenges that must be faced by companies if they want to switch to technology companies such as technical equipment, special skills, data analytics, and others. But one of the most important parts is the software.
Programming and coding because like it or not there will be a lot of customization needed if we want to be specific to improve a performance. Software is what unites us, we are all glued to software.
There are several technologies that companies can use to support their operations, such as artificial intelligence (AI), machine learning (ML), and the internet of things (IoT).
Currently the digital revolution is very much needed in the midst of the COVID-19 pandemic. Not only for the management line, but also for the workers at the forefront of manufacturing.
What is very important is how employees can connect to get information and collaborate so that it supports the performance and innovation of the company.
Technology has evolved and is very mature to solve various problems in the consumer space by utilizing cloud computing, big data, and machine learning and this can become the digital backbone for industry 4.0 in smart manufacture.
