Why Partner with an Solution Provider?

 

One of the primary considerations when selecting an automation vendor is what role do you expect from the vendor and what are your overall digitization goals. There is a tendency to expect an automation vendor to implement and walk away. However, there are many considerations before taking that approach, for example:

  • What level of visibility do you have into the system on your products?
  • What skill set do you require on staff to perform maintenance and ensure the automation performs as expected?
  • How will your automation grow with your business? Do you have business analysts on staff who re-evaluate the automation, its setup and whether it meets your needs?
  • Do you have an internal champion of automation?

The right solution provider has the opportunity to leverage automation as only one component in your journey towards Industry 4.0. The following are some of the key benefits a solution provider can deliver.  You want an partner in your Industry 4.0 or digitization journey who:
