Abstract
Many manufacturers hold their data in several different places such as spreadsheets, databases, ERP systems, accountancy programs and manufacturing records. The first step to digitisation must be to connect these sources. There are many risks to holding several unconnected data sources. When information is added and updated in several disconnected places at the same time, there’s a high likelihood of duplication, errors and waste.
At UK Construction Week in 2021 we asked members of the editorial board as well as other experts what the client’s role in resolving this challenge around product data is. Watch the interview to learn more and download the guide for free at theiet.org/product-manufacturers
