Manufacturing Cloud from Salesforce has revolutionized the manufacturing industry with automation, interconnectivity, machine learning, real-time data analysis, IIoT, advanced computing, chatbots, and AI solutions. However, the industry is relatively slow to adopt these digital transformation solutions. This slow adoption rate is often attributed to the complex transformation journey and uncertainty of these technologies’ benefits and results.
