Description
The opportunities and ways of manufacturing are changing worldwide. In recent years, different concepts such as “Smart Manufacturing”, “Industrie 4.0” or “Industrial Internet” show the diversity of ideas to create the production of the future. All these visions are based on new, digital technologies and are connecting both physical and cyber world.

Our benchmarking project "Digital Technologies - Evolution of production in high-wage countries" focuses on the examination of approaches for, applications of and developments in digital technologies to strengthen the position of manufacturing plants in high-wage locations. The goal is to identify and understand Successful Practice companies. As a participant in the benchmarking you have the unique opportunity to get insights into our research conclusions and – depending on the performance of your digital technologies resp. manufacturing activities – being endorsed as a Successful Practice candidate.

    Digitalization and the application of digital technologies such as artificial intelligence, collaborative robotics, augmented reality or big data are progressing steadily. In particular, companies with plants in countries such as Austria, Germany or Switzerland are expecting new productivity gains and a positive impact on the competitiveness of their high-wage locations. How-ever, which technologies are relevant? What collaborations are important and what are the overall benefits of digitization? In order to understand the challenges and decisions of manufacturing companies with plants in high-wage locations better, the Institute of Technology Management at the University of St.Gallen conducted the benchmarking “Digital Technologies”. It focused on the topics of organization, strategy, application, stakeholders, in-vestments and performance of digitalization activities. Additionally to the original survey report with 139 participants, we have conducted deeper research on five Successful Practice companies from the sample. The site visit reports shall give more insights in how these companies answered the raised questions.

    Digitalization and the application of digital technologies such as artificial intelligence, smart robotics, augmented reality or big data are progressing steadily. In particular, companies with plants in countries such as Germany or Switzer-land are expecting new productivity gains and a positive impact on the competitiveness of their high-wage locations. But which technologies are really relevant? What collaborations are important and what are the overall benefits of digitization? In order to better understand the challenges and decisions of manufacturing companies with plants in high-wage locations, the Institute of Technology Management at the University of St.Gallen has launched the benchmarking “Digital Technologies”. It focuses on the topics of organization, strategy, areas of application, stake-holders, investments and performance of digitalization activities. In addition, the study includes many other insights and current developments regarding the use of digital technologies. With 139 participants, we see this study as an-other important step towards a better under-standing of digitalization activities in high-wage countries.
