GLOBAL LIGHTHOUSE
In closing, Betti discussed the World Economic Forum’s Global Lighthouse Network – a community of manufacturers that show leadership in using fourth industrial revolution technologies to transform factories, value chains and business models, for compelling financial and operational returns.
According to Betti, 69 manufacturing lighthouses have been identified from different industry sectors, and have embarked on a joint learning journey to share insights and experiences and incubate new partnerships.
“The result of this is that we have over 110 user studies and applications that demonstrate where companies can learn and leverage from, for their own transformation,” says Betti, who believes the greatest value lighthouses bring to the industry is the way they leverage digital technologies to set new benchmarks for the global manufacturing community.
“These benchmarks are a source of inspiration and set the next bar in what every manufacturing company should be aspiring to achieve.”
For Betti, we still haven’t found the factory of the future but instead, a continuous journeyofevolution. ✷
