From Excel to Execution: Building the Foundation of Your Smart Factory
You will learn:
Manufacturers across the Nordics continue to rely heavily on Excel, paper forms, and disconnected systems to manage their daily operations. This creates blind spots in production, slows down decision-making, and makes it nearly impossible to scale or improve performance.
In this first episode of our Smart Factory Transformation Series, we explore how leading manufacturers move from spreadsheet-driven processes to real-time manufacturing execution with Siemens Opcenter.
You will learn how to build the digital foundation needed for visibility, efficiency, and continuous improvement.
