How would you analyse the role of Industry 4.0 in the New Normal with the Covid19 outbreak?
The COVID-19 pandemic has triggered large scale digital transformation across industries and the globe. This creates new opportunities to implement innovative digital strategies and rapidly embrace Industry 4.0 technologies. They are instrumental in augmenting smart factories and mitigating disruptions in the supply chain.
