Digital Transformation is a Must for Manufacturers 🚀
The industrial world is rapidly evolving towards smart manufacturing technologies. A new study reveals that 90% of manufacturers consider digital transformation vital. This signals a major shift towards the active use of technology in daily operations.

đź“Š Smart Manufacturing with Data
According to Rockwell Automation's "The State of Smart Manufacturing Report 2026," over 1,500 manufacturers from 17 countries participated. The question is no longer whether to adopt digital technologies, but how to implement, scale, and create value with them.

đź’ˇ What are the Key Findings?
[]59% of manufacturers actively use smart manufacturing technologies in their operations. Only 18% are in the pilot phase.
[]Today, 34% of manufacturers operate with AI (Artificial Intelligence) support, and more than half of their operations are expected to be AI-powered by 2030.
[]Only 43% of collected data is effectively utilized. This indicates that the performance constraint is not a lack of data, but rather implementation.
[]46% of manufacturers experienced at least one cybersecurity incident in the past year. As connected and autonomous operations increase, so do the risks.

đź’° Investment Strategies and Cybersecurity
According to the report, manufacturers are focusing their transformation investments on clear outcomes. Approximately 33% of operational budgets are allocated to industrial technology. This indicates a continuous and application-focused investment strategy, rather than short-term trials.

It appears that industry views digitalization not as a luxury, but as a necessity. In this rapid transformation process, critical issues such as cybersecurity are also gaining increasing importance.
