Digitalization helps manufacturing companies to use resources more efficiently. This applies to materials and energy, but also to their employees' time. The faster companies advance their digital transformation, the more likely they are to benefit from sustainable results. Considering challenges such as the shortage of skilled workers, complex supply chains, and high profit pressure, this is a real competitive advantage.

However, anyone dealing with digitalization quickly encounters complex topics – master data management, digital thread, or single source of truth, to name just a few. The question is: how do companies implement these success factors? Which best practices provide guidance? And which mistakes should managers avoid at all costs?

You will find answers at our Customer Day at Marel. During a factory tour, you will learn how and why the company is building its Digital Product Highway based on the motto “start small, scale big”. Look forward to exciting presentations that will provide insights into the project goals achieved so far and the tasks still ahead, as well as topics such as the replacement of large PDM and PLM solutions (e.g., Oracle Agile e6).

Take advantage of Marel’s lessons learned and gain new inspiration for the digital transformation of your company!
