NTT DATA _ Business and technology trends in Manufacturing

The COVID19 has had a major impact forcing many companies to rapidly adapt their operations to meet changing customer needs and remain competitive. This has led to an accelerated digital transformation across the entire industry. One of the most significant changes has been the increased adoption of automation and robotics which has enabled companies to reduce costs and increase efficiency.
