Manufacturing Industries are at heart of digital transformation. The heavy influence of the Internet of Things changes customer demands on products these companies are offering - particularly High-tech and Industrial machinery and component companies are affected. They react by adding software and services to their products and offering Performance/outcome based contracting: Changing from CAPEX to OPEX.

Beyond that both industries leverage companies out of other industries to enable their businesses and enter into a smarter world. Sensors, robotics, 3D printing, and artificial intelligence (AI) become state of the art. Computing has extended to mobile devices and industrial equipment: formerly inanimate objects become “self-aware” of their operational and health status.

Industry boundaries are disrupting which leads traditional companies to rethink the future of their business. Companies from other industries or even newcomers are becoming competitors and challenging their original business.
