It is no secret that mobility technology is now impacting shop floor operations. Earlier this year we shared our first mobile impact on manufacturing Infographic that shows how mobile technologies are streamlining productivity and increasing efficiency in manufacturing operations management. Ten use cases were shared.

Much progress has been made over the past nine months. To start, many more employees now have smart phones capable of performing some sort of monitoring or collaboration with other staff, suppliers or partners. Tablets are now quite common as a cost effective way to add new data gathering and visualization capabilities to help improve efficiency.

Below is an Infographic that captures salient data points surrounding the mobile transformation now underway, including where the corner office see the most opportunities for investment. For those preparing budgets for next year, this might be a good place to start!

Special thanks to the team at [x]cube labs, who have put together this Infographic.
