The manufacturing industry is under pressure from the potential customers, suppliers and rivals to deliver better outcome, better quality and do it within a stipulated cost in order to survive in the consistently changing business dynamics. To enter into the new markets, cut down the costs and improve the business revenue, many manufacturers are getting into joint ventures, mergers and outsourcing to expand their global reach. However, to maintain their competitive advantage and improve value for stakeholders, customers, suppliers and workers, manufacturers should be on top of the industry trends. We re at the peak of an ever rising wireless phenomenon. Just as has changed our lives and the way we work, mobility in the manufacturing industry will penetrate each and every department and change the way we do business. Enterprise mobility has rapidly emerged as one of the crucial strategic initiative among the leading global manufacturing organizations.

Enterprise mobility is a major shift, which will reshape the manufacturing industry by making it more agile, responsive and lean! In this whitepaper, we will get a closer look at the growing importance of enterprise mobility in manufacturing industry and understand the reasons behind the adoption of the mobility, how the manufacturing industry will benefit from it, key challenges and scope of mobile solutions in the manufacturing industry.
4 Mobile Solutions for the manufacturing Industry Importance of Mobile Solutions in Manufacturing Industry Enterprise mobility in manufacturing helps both discrete and process manufacturers establish new and improved efficiencies within their organization. Mobility has always been customer-driven, flourishing B2B environment. As the manufacturing industry entirely focuses on B2B, it requires more efforts to see how it applies to this industry. Mobility helps manufacturers drive people cost down, improve asset utilization and cut down the material cost. Moreover, it minimizes the error to a great extent by offering more precise data, which at the end results into a greater profitability, customer satisfaction and an edge over the competitors. According to the Enterprise Mobility Market Barometer, mobility has seen a great importance in the enterprise IT agenda. 71% of the decision-makers and mobile workers agreed that mobility is more important for their enterprise today than it was in the previous year.
