The Connected Factory Playbook: Actionable Insights for C-Level Manufacturing Leaders
Modern manufacturers face a paradox: despite generating more data than ever, as much as 80–95% of valuable operational data remains unused. The result? Missed opportunities, fragmented visibility, and stalled digital transformation efforts.
Our new executive booklet, based on the expert panel “The Connected Factory Playbook: Actionable Insights for C-Level Manufacturing Leaders,” delivers critical insights for manufacturing leaders looking to harness real-time data and AI at scale.
Featuring perspectives from Cirrus Link, HighByte, and Snowflake, this concise guide explores how C-level leaders can leverage industrial data to gain a competitive advantage—without overhauling their entire tech stack.
Key insights include:
- Why Unified Namespace (UNS) is the foundation for OT-IT integration and AI readiness
- How to avoid data swamps by modeling your machines—not just sending raw variables to the cloud
- How digital twins are evolving beyond assets to model entire processes, facilities, and even organizations
- Where AI is delivering measurable value today—from predictive maintenance to real-time decision support
- How cloud platforms can power smart manufacturing when aligned with secure, scalable, hybrid strategies
- What digitally mature organizations are doing differently with DataOps, cross-functional teams, and internal data products
This booklet is tailored for CEOs, CTOs, CIOs, COOs, and heads of manufacturing, operations, and digital transformation. If you’re shaping the data strategy or industrial innovation agenda in your organization, this guide delivers clarity, context, and actionable direction.
