機械・産業オートメーション　コンサルティングサービス

Companies focused on manufacturing machinery, components, and equipment for industrial automation have two critical roles to play in our ever-changing world. First, their products must enable other industrial companies to become highly automated, digital, and sustainable businesses. Second, they need to understand and harness the top trends transforming the machinery and industrial-automation industry today. BCG’s machinery and industrial-automation consultants collaborate with leaders to explore:

Digital Disruption. How can machinery and industrial-automation companies monetize the volumes of data that digital technologies generate and capture? How can digital offerings and services generate additional revenue streams to help these companies compete against software giants and telcos? How do traditional companies make the leap from manufacturing hardware-centric equipment to delivering fully digitized products and services? (See the exhibit below.)
The Challenging Future of Automation. How will advances in automation technologies erase the boundaries between information and operational systems? How can industrial-automation companies navigate the cyber-physical hybrid networks that combine new technologies? How can machinery and industrial-automation companies best set their game plans to capture the value pools emerging from these new ecosystems?
