Digitalization in production leads to more flexibility, higher performance and reliability. This applies equally to internal company processes and to inter-company value creation. But digitization in Western Europe usually has to take place in existing plants, which are often 20 years old and older. This is where the maintenance staff are challenged, because they are often the only ones who have the know-how to implement digitization in the company.
