Why manufacturers tolerate complexity

Fragmented systems are holding back manufacturers. So why aren't they fixing them?

New research surveyed manufacturing leaders responsible for shop floor operations, IT and operational technology, and cybersecurity to find out why complexity persists—and what finally triggers change.

  • The challenge is clear

    60% of manufacturing leaders say disconnected tools and systems are one of their biggest operational challenges, impeding visibility, standardization, and security.

  • The surprising part

    Only 7% say disconnected systems would trigger a change in their remote access setup. External regulations are far more likely to create urgency.

  • The visibility gap

    67% still rely on on-site expert support, while 47% struggle with inconsistent troubleshooting and lack visual guidance (47%) when resolving issues.
