The buzz: “Technology trends coupled with consumers’ increasing power to demand personalized products are changing the face of manufacturing.” (Kevin O’Marah, industryweek.com, 01/14/15)

The concept of “Software is Everywhere” has begun to resonate with industrial manufacturers worldwide.

There’s hardly an industrial machine, piece of equipment, or plant automation system that does not already contain a significant amount of software to go along with traditional hardware.
How is this mass digitalization disrupting the industrial machinery sector?

“When physicist Richard Feynman found himself listening to a scientific talk in a field he didn’t know well, he had a favorite question to ask the speaker: Can you give me a really simple example of what you’re talking about? If the speaker couldn’t oblige, Feynman got suspicious, and rightly so. Did this person really have something to say, or was this just fancy technical talk parading as scientific wisdom? If you can’t make a hard problem relatively simple, you are probably not going about it the right way. Simplification is not just for beginners.” (Daniel Dennett)
