TR Cutler Identifies Top Manufacturing Trends of 2020 in Manufacturing Outlook

Industrial journalist, TR Cutler predicted 2020 manufacturing trends in Manufacturing Outlook e-zine. According to Cutler, most manufacturers are still at very early stages of IIoT (Industrial Internet of Things) machine learning, especially in business applications and 2020 machine learning will be more clearly explained with broader analytics and become better-defined with value creation. Even the small manufacturers will look for access with connected overall analytic strategies and transformation optimizing.

2020 analytics quality and value metrics will become the mainstream KPIs to guide future analytics, AI (Artificial Intelligence) development, and technology investment. 

RPA (Robotics Process Automation) and Cognitive Process Mining will become even more important for both back office accounting and functions (sales, marketing, product development) to drive more efficient process execution as well as optimizing; totally changing how these processes will function in the future.

The 2020 buzz of Pricing Optimization, CPQ (Configure Price Quote), Digital Transformation, and Visual Commerce will all be driven by the D2C (Direct to Consumer) channel. Only when manufacturers leverage both objective data and analytics-driven insights, concurrent with human intuition will the promise of these technologies be realized. No longer can industry rely on tribal knowledge and a hunch. 2020 and beyond is a human data-driven process driving the best of lean manufacturing principles and eliminating waste and speculation.
