A Starting Point for Industry 4.0 Transformation
June 17, 2019 | ABI ResearchEstimated reading time: 1 minute
The most profound challenge for manufacturers looking to implement a technology-driven transformation process is clearly understanding where they are currently in terms of solution maturity. Once they have a clear starting point, then they can realistically, and strategically, begin to advance. ABI Research, a global tech market advisory firm, has just released its Industry 4.0 Maturity Assessment to help manufacturers gain this clarity and insight.
Our interactive Industry 4.0 Maturity Assessment can help manufacturers benchmark and baseline the maturity of their plant or operation today and put together a plan for the future. It evaluates maturity progress in these seven critical disciplines:
- Robotics & Automation
- Manufacturing Process
- Software
- Control
- Data Management & Analytics
- Connectivity
- Worker Enablement
The result of the assessment will not only give manufacturers a solid perspective on where they sit on the Industry 4.0 maturity scale, but also align where their vision should be on future Industry 4.0 projects.

Nolan’s Notes: Coming to Terms With AI
05/07/2024 | Nolan Johnson -- Column: Nolan's NotesHow fast do things move in the world of data analytics? Here’s an example. We’ve been planning this issue on artificial intelligence for the past few months, and, in fact, I had already written this column about a month ago. Then I went to IPC APEX EXPO and upended it all. I originally had compared AI to drag racing in that (CPU) horsepower and new (data) vehicles have steadily delivered higher performance competition. That seemed pretty accurate given how generative AI models dominated the popular media with amazing results—and sometimes spectacular crashes.
