Inside the Habits of America’s First Digital Generation Research, 2015

No way to disconnect


Mobile

New communication habits

Interactive technologies

Analog August? Digital Detox?The thing that I found most important is the notion of “connectivity”. And this is a chance that applies to manufacturing world too. Manufacturing companies are moving into the new era of connectivity.

New manufacturing companies will be able to leverage connectivity to design and build products differently. It will become one of the strongest competitive advantage. “Analog August” is a good idea for those who can afford it, but it sounds like mission impossible for modern manufacturing communities – connectivity is not an option anymore.

Session briefTechnology is an incredible thing; that is if you can keep up with it. Today, people are so used to the speed, useability and ease of tools used in their personal lives that when faced with those at work, they struggle with how archaic, outdated and unnecessarily complex they seem. This has put immense pressure on digital software providers to adapt and enhance their offering.

The Internet and mobile technology continue to have major transformative effects on everything we do, and especially on communication. Interactive technologies are replacing old-fashioned workflows and providers are expanding from smartphones and websites to mobile and SaaS apps that provide a more useable, self-guided, and worry-free user experience. All of these together form a new digital framework around our lives and as such, new digital habits.

Oleg Shilovitsky has worked closely with the industry to understand this trend better and leads a discussion on what these habits look like and how they will disrupt the insufficient manufacturing workflows that companies have grown so used to running on.
