PREDICTION #1: The Internet of Things (IoT) will enable extreme industrial innovation
SPEED SCALE PRECISION
Embedded sensors continuously streaming data PLUS nonstop analysis will provide never-before attainable… 1. Supply chain visibility, 2. Production Support, 3. Customer Experience Optimization, …as innovative manufacturers embrace the possibilities enabled by IoT
PREDICTION #2: Increased adoption of automation will help manufacturers create new revenue streams & lower costs
PREDICTION #2: Increased adoption of automation will help manufacturers create new revenue streams & lower costs
Increased servicing of specialized, automated equipment will be needed.
PREDICTION #2: Increased adoption of automation will help manufacturers create new revenue streams & lower costs
Increased servicing of specialized, automated equipment will be needed.
Specialized equipment manufacturers will be uniquely positioned to create incremental revenue streams by offering ‘predictive’ maintenance services when using sensors.
PREDICTION #3: Real-time demand fulfillment will require tight integration of supply chain, production, logistics and marketing
PREDICTION #3: Real-time demand fulfillment will require tight integration of supply chain, production, logistics and marketing
The ability to sense demand in real-time and respond by changing prices or promotions through the utilization of segmented logistics, inventory and performance capacities, will allow for the optimization of integrated responses.
PREDICTION #4: Re-shoring will continue but… … Supply Chains will remain global, large and complex

PREDICTION #5:
Labor and production in emerging markets manufacturing has traditionally been appealing. However… improvements in innovation and product quality will keep production facilities running and entice new facilities to open, which will compete with re-shoring.
PREDICTION #6: “The Project Economy” will thrive because of more exacting customer requirements
PREDICTION #6: “The Project Economy” will thrive because of more exacting customer requirements
1. Faster times to market with more specific products and shorter lifecycles will result in short-term shifting and outsourcing of logistics facilities, production and suppliers.
