Achieving Industry 4.0 objectives during disruption

In mid-2020, ARC Advisory Group and Wind River collaborated on a survey of manufacturing leaders to better understand the challenges industry faced during the COVID-19 pandemic to maintain production as a result of disruptions to their supply chains and operations. That report, “Industry 4.0 and 5G in the COVID Pandemic,” explores Industry 4.0 initiatives and manufacturer's increased focus on supply chain improvements, innovations, and remote operations support. Nermin Mohamed, the Head of Telco Solutions at Wind River, talked with the Plant Services editors Thomas Wilk and Anna Townshend about some of the findings in this report.
