Systems in the digital transformation
The digital transformation continues to advance. There are now various technologies such as artificial intelligence, cloud computing and the Internet of Things that have decisively changed and influenced our world. This has made it easy for business processes to be networked and therefore function more efficiently.
Connected technology can improve the infrastructure for digital processes, automate workflows and create innovative solutions. This enables your company to work in a future-proof way.
What is meant by networked systems?
Networked systems are also known as connected technology. It refers to technologies that exchange data in real time for devices, systems, sensors or machines that are connected to each other. This is of course a decisive advantage, especially in industry and production. If you imagine that different devices are connected to each other and their data is exchanged, it is possible to intervene quickly. This means downtime can be avoided, repairs can be carried out quickly and production can be automated.
What significance does connected technology have in the digital transformation?
The fundamental aim of digital transformation is to make companies more productive and competitive. They can do this by being agile. This is why manual processes are being replaced by digital technologies. Connected technology offers a seamless connection between different devices or systems so that a company can intervene quickly and make corrections or optimise business processes.
The various advantages here are
- Analyse the data in real time: This allows faster intervention in the process and corrections can be made if necessary. Errors can be rectified or repairs carried out more quickly
- Automation of processes: Manual tasks can be transferred to digital ones. This means that errors can be avoided and work can be carried out more quickly
- Cost savings: If resources can be utilised efficiently and processes are automated as far as possible, costs are saved
- Better customer experience: Thanks to the networked systems, customer needs can be addressed directly. So the customer can be satisfied
What things should be considered when introducing connected technology?
It requires planning and an analysis of your previous IT infrastructure. It is important that you can combine your existing systems into a networked structure. It is also important that your IT is able to process the large volume of data.
First of all, you should ensure that your company's networked systems are protected so that you are not at risk of cyberattacks. Your data should be secure. It is essential that these security systems are regularly updated.
What you should realise is that the introduction of connected technology with its changes will be a cost factor. It depends on whether your existing devices are compatible or whether you have to make new purchases. You will certainly have to buy new technology and work with your IT to create solutions so that the systems can be networked and then work efficiently. Another cost factor is that you will need to train your staff to use the new technology.
