Digitalization has tremendously increased the quality of products manufactured and significantly lowered the production cost. It has also been instrumental in helping manufacturers meet diverse customization needs from their customers. Therefore, it comes as no surprise that its adoption has accelerated in the last few years as companies seek to remain competitive.
