Abstract

Our guide, Digitisation for construction product manufacturers - a plain language guide, helps decision-makers in manufacturing identify why supplying structured data is important, how to avoid poor investment decisions, safe ways to share information about products across the supply chain, and more.

At UK Construction Week in 2021 we asked members of the editorial board as well as other experts what they thought was the most exciting or important message from the Plain Language Guide. Watch the interview to learn more and download the guide for free at theiet.org/product-manufacturers
