Manufacturing as we once knew it is over. Legacy processes have been unceremoniously dumped. Digital laggards have become dinosaurs and a new way of conducting business has been ushered in. The 2021 State of Manufacturing Report reads much like an admission that Covid-19 turned the industry on its head in a matter of months. Supply chain resiliency has rocketed to importance for 68% of businesses. Operating costs competition has become a problem for 36% of heavy manufacturing CIOs. 84% are switching to on-demand manufacturing tech. Change is everywhere.
