As the world continues to technologically advance in the wake of the fourth industrial revolution (Industry 4.0), manufacturers are realising that “connectivity is the thread holding their operations together” amidst their digital transformation.
Ericsson notes that “connectivity has often been a second thought to manufacturers. When the network served fewer devices, manufacturers were satisfied as long as the available communications technology worked—or as long as they could work around the weaknesses. That’s no longer true.”
