What are the Challenges of Developing a Digital Factory?

Developing a digital factory means handling tasks from financing the project, to selecting the best technology for supporting your outcomes, to finding the staff that can utilize the data generated to achieve strategic goals. There will be the need to manage projects in multiple departments simultaneously to ensure that the data desired by each function is uncovered and shared. Establishing this seamless access to relevant data ensures the goals of a digital factory - delivering required products more cost effectively - are achieved.
