Description: Currently, we are witnessing a strong shift in customer behavior and expectations, which, in turn, is creating a radical long-term change in the relationship between customers and companies in the woodworking industry. Customers have a greater impact on how companies plan production, as their demands can be heard loud and clear — a result of cloud, mobile and social technologies. Customers are no longer in a position where they have no choice; rather, they’re in a position to inform themselves about the various options available and can exercise choice and discretion before making a purchasing decision. This is the overarching environment that has produced the on-demand economy.
A key enabler to the on-demand economy is the fourth industrial revolution also known as Industry 4.0. For some, working toward digitization, automation, and a seamless supply chain can be daunting – but it doesn’t have to be. Understanding what these advancements mean for your business and having the right technology partner to help you meet the demand of Industry 4.0 is within your reach. Manufacturing can be more customized, more flexible, faster and more reliable.
