“When digital transformation is done right, we as a team transform as well, for the better,” says Duane Macauley, President and CEO of DSM. “Preserving positive human partnerships with our team and partners, like Cogiscan, in a change-ready environment is what inspires us to get on board with the advancements that new technological innovations bring. This is essential for a successful business, especially during these times. After 20 years, we are exceedingly grateful to make high-quality products for incredible customers that share the same digital transformation philosophy.”
For the past 20 years, Cogiscan has been widely recognized as the industry-leading expert in TTC and IIoT solutions for electronics manufacturing. During this time, the scope and depth of the Cogiscan suite have evolved into a comprehensive TTC solution for the complete assembly of electronic products, including factory-wide IIoT to enable digital transformation and Industry 4.0.
