Hello and welcome to the latest issue of Manufacturing Today. This month our main interview is Tom Richter, Head of Manufacturing Verticals at Nokia Cloud & Network Services. Leading the segment sales for factory digitalization and smart manufacturing solutions, Tom is perfectly placed to discuss what is needed to fuel manufacturers’ digital transformation journeys. Find out what’ s on his agenda on page 10.
Alongside Tom’ s insights, our features cover customization, automation, resiliency and maintenance, plus we highlight two recent webinars hosted by Manufacturing Today. These discussions offered invaluable insights from leading experts, so do look at those on page 30. Each issue will report on content from our Webinar series going forward, and I recommend giving them a watch, to gain some new perspectives on the latest topics and trends in manufacturing.
