You can still take practical steps to move forward. Start with fundamental data collection and analytic tools to lay the groundwork. Leveraging visibility solutions like barcode scanning, wearables or other basic Internet of Things (IoT) devices can help monitor machines and provide insights and improvements.<\/p>\n<p>Quality is the final piece of the equation. Once you\u2019re further down the path to transformation, implement visibility solutions and augment and upskill workers with technology to optimize quality. To drive quality even further, add advanced automation solutions. You don\u2019t have to boil the ocean on your digital transformation journey\u2014take it one step at a time from wherever you\u2019re starting.<\/p>\n<p>Most manufacturers (87%) in Zebra\u2019s study agree it\u2019s a challenge to pilot new technologies or move beyond the pilot phase, yet they plan to advance digital maturity by 2029.
