A Connected Industrial Workforce promises to transform manufacturing. But are manufacturers ready to embrace it?

Accenture research¹ shows that few global companies feel ready to make the Connected Industrial Workforce—human-machine-centric, rather than just human-centric—a reality. Based on the self-perceptions of the manufacturing executives, below are the key findings.

A Connected Industrial Workforce drives significant new value

52%of companies expect improved productivity

47%of companies expect improved operational e�ciency

31%expect enhanced safety and risk management

A Connected Industrial Workforce transforms manufacturing processes

39%of companies already assign injection molding to collaborative robots

72%of companies will assign gluing and welding to collaborative robots in the next 5 years

69%of companies will assign assembling to collaborative robots in the next 5 years

Most manufacturers recognize the benefits of a Connected Industrial Workforce

85%expect it to be commonplace in their plants by 2020

expect it to drive significant productivity improvements

>50%want to lead in setting its agenda

62%

Most companies lack the confidence to implement it successfully

followers or laggards, rather than leaders

By envisioning the full promise of the Connected Industrial Workforce, as well as the benefits they expect it to deliver, more global manufacturers could identify what’s holding them back, and begin to define their journey and who owns it. The findings suggest that the time to start raising their game—identifying new job profiles, and dedicating higher proportions of their R&D budget to the Connected Industrial Workforce—is now.
