Description

MPI works closely with professional service firms, information technology companies, and universities around the world, providing them with core (raw) data that can be used in a variety of ways—including:

  • Client benchmarking
  • Return-on-investment assessment
  • Proposal development 
  • Academic research

The MPI Disruptive Technologies in Manufacturing Study explores the impact of five (5) critical digital-tool categories:

  • Manufacturing technologies:
    • 3D printing, robotics, cobots, virtual/augmented/mixed realties, automation, RFID, asset tags
  • Smart devices:
    • Sensors, controls, relays, actuators, motor controls
  • Data management:
    • Big data/business analytics, collaboration software, artificial intelligence, machine learning, blockchain, omnichannel
  • Digital infrastructure:
    • Digital Thread, Digital Twin, network technologies, standards, platforms, protocols, device management
  • Business applications:
    • MES, SCM, CRM, HCM
  • Data from the MPI Disruptive Technologies in Manufacturing Study includes responses from 435 global manufacturing executives and is available for purchase in its raw format. 
  • Data can be provided as an Excel or SPSS file and includes all anonymous data gathered in 2018 (2021 data coming soon!).

The study examines:

  • The adoption rate of manufacturers for these digital tools, and the challenges and benefits that implementing them entails.
  • Readiness for disruptive technologies.
  • Effectiveness in using digital tools for improving:
    • EHS
    • Quality
    • Productivity
    • Speed
    • Product innovation
    • Service innovation
    • Supply-chain management and performance
