Infor, a global leader in business cloud software specialized by industry will be participating as a Gold Sponsor at the upcoming show. We caught up with Pranish Kushare, Sr. Principal Business Consultant from Infor to gain some insights into the global, and regional trends shaping the industry 4.0 landscape. He was happy to oblige and stated that: ”The most prevalent top trends shaping the digital transformation landscape in industrial manufacturing sector globally in 2023 are robotics and automation (62%), Data analytics (60%), and Internet of Things (loT) platforms (39%) - a sure sign of the increasing move to Industry 4.0.“

He further commented that “manufacturing companies in the region are also investing heavily, with some 71% of manufacturers in the MEA region pursuing a digital-first approach to business, this insight was gained through an IDC Technology Spotlight commissioned by Infor.”
He also added that “more than 64% of manufacturers in the region are still using spreadsheets and standalone applications to manage their supply chains, and 58% of these manufacturers cited that speed and scale is a key challenge hindering their digital evolution, according to the IDC Technology Spotlight report. Amid these challenges, it is vital that manufacturers in the region adopt the right digital strategy to gain the full advantages of digitization and tap the opportunities for growth.”
