Smarter technologies and processes increase efficiency and decrease costs
Computacenter helps manufacturers access the expertise and technologies they need to transform their processes and empower their people for digital success.
Our pragmatic solutions and industrialised services enable firms to unlock new efficiency gains while containing costs. We safeguard supply chains. We cut lead times. We increase overall equipment effectiveness. We reduce inventory and energy costs.
Computacenter helps manufacturers establish the reliable and scalable infrastructure foundations needed to modernise working environments and transform manufacturing processes with new technologies, such as robotics, virtual reality and 3-D printing.
Building the foundations for digital success
Nearly half of manufacturers already run some workloads in the cloud. Computacenter helps firms accelerate and expand adoption to create multi-cloud strategies that deliver greater agility for a lower cost. We make sure commercially sensitive data says protected in the cloud, on the network, in the datacenter and on user devices.
Connected factories. Automated production lines. Real-time analytics. Technology is at the heart of day-to-day manufacturing operations, helping companies boost efficiency and competitive advantage as well as attract and retain great talent.
Although manufacturers recognise the value of technology, many are struggling to make the leap into a digital age. According to a Computacenter survey, 90% of manufacturers believe technology is important to their business, yet 16% still cite outdated equipment as the biggest challenge holding them back.
As the lines between information technology and operational technology blur, manufacturers need to ensure they seize the competitive advantage. Half of the survey respondents believe innovations in data analytics and artificial intelligence would prove most useful to their business.
Turning new ideas into practical solutions, however, can be costly and complex - especially when there’s a skills gap. Nearly a fifth of manufacturers cite a lack of technical experience as the biggest challenge they face, which has the potential to impact both productivity and profitability
