Digital integration is talked about all the time. But why is it so important? Because it makes every person and every stage of production more accurate and effective. In manufacturing, connectivity is not a buzzword. It has real and serious implications for how your factories can benefit from paperless manufacturing. Think of your stack of digital technologies as an ecosystem, where the more the individual solutions interact and support one another, the stronger the whole system becomes.
