Digital Transformation Arrives
As industrial manufacturers move quickly toward transformation, increasing competition and changing customer expectations require new ways of doing business.
To keep pace with changing markets and customer demands, industrial manufacturers must develop smarter, more connected products—and move from selling just physical goods to more services-based business models.
Cognizant helps makers of durable and non-durable products to harness the latest digital advancements in machine learning, analytics, IoT, blockchain and more. We help them develop more intelligent products, adapt operations to new markets, deploy engineering collaboration platforms and refine manufacturing execution systems.
Cognizant provides strategy consulting, planning and implementation services to help our industrial manufacturing clients transform their products to smart and connected ones. Our solutions leverage digital technologies across sensory enablement, IoT adoption, wireless connectivity, cloud-based infrastructure and analytics.
Our Design Thinking framework helps clients envision innovation possibilities and uncover breakthrough opportunities using digital. Cognizant Digital Works provides the technology architecture and implementation capabilities. Meanwhile, our partner ecosystem brings together the best-of-breed technologies to cover the entire digital value chain.
Cognizant provides expertise in all leading enterprise resource planning and supply chain management packages to help industrial manufacturers execute transformation roadmaps for streamlining business processes in the extended enterprise.
We take responsibility for managing the change program in a multi-vendor scenario and implement projects in a time-bound manner. We also help integrate back-end systems with other business applications, such as warehouse management and transportation management systems. Our expertise spans the traditional industry‑leading packages, as well as niche ones like sales and operations planning (S&OP) on the cloud, leveraging our partner platforms.
We engage with our industrial manufacturing clients to extend their product development capability using our embedded software development, control systems and product lifecycle management expertise.
From focused projects to large-scale development centers, our Engineering and Manufacturing Services team is equipped to address a variety of client requirements. We have successfully transformed captive engineering centers of our clients into high-maturity service delivery organizations.
Cognizant helps its industrial manufacturing clients to deploy systems and processes that enable them transition to a solution-oriented business model and away from the traditional model of equipment selling. This covers service information architecture definition, service management framework, account management, warranty management and field personnel support. We use emerging digital technologies such as AI, IOT, mobile and analytics to deepen the service capabilities of our clients.
With the convergence of digital technologies, a whole new concept of industrial manufacturing is taking shape. This is captured in Cognizant’s Factory of the Future capability set. This combines our design-to-value framework, fulfillment execution systems, shop floor incident reporting systems and shop floor analytics.
Using core manufacturing and enterprise systems as the foundation, we use analytics to make industrial manufacturing more intelligent, responsive and efficient. In return, our clients’ businesses remain competitive.
