Said no one, ever.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Because that\u2019s never been true, has it? And these days, it\u2019s not just the nature of the challenges in CPR that is daunting \u2013 it\u2019s their scale, too, and the pace at which they\u2019re moving.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Now more than ever, markets are global and constantly morphing. Customers know what they want and when they want it, and so organizations need to find ways to streamline processes and increase efficiency. Technology can help them develop new business models, but it can be difficult to identify strategies that genuinely add value \u2013 especially when customers are pulling them in opposite directions.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>How are shoppers pulling two ways? By simultaneously seeking eco-friendly options and low cost. As a result, CPR companies are obliged to achieve and maintain a three-way equilibrium between sustainability, affordability, and quality.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"h-let-s-get-digital-and-physical\">Let\u2019s get digital \u2013 and physical<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>It\u2019s a difficult balancing act \u2013 but a practical way forward is to address these challenges holistically. It\u2019s not a case of simply throwing tech at it, any more than it\u2019s only about radically overhauling physical operations.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Instead, CPR organizations need to find ways to bring together these two elements \u2013 traditional engineering and digital technology \u2013 so they can redraw departmental lines; align specialisms; make traditional processes more efficient, accurate, and scalable; improve sustainability without compromising on quality or margins; and offer new products and services that take advantage of strengths in both the physical and digital worlds.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"h-real-world-examples-here-s-one\"><strong>Real-world examples:<\/strong> here\u2019s one\u2026<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>Let\u2019s look at how these challenges are being tackled in the real world, and in particular how digital technology is being used to optimize physical performance.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>A major multinational brewer has been looking to implement data and analytics transformation to achieve exactly this goal. In recent years it has introduced a number of different solutions across its infrastructure, all of which have been developed based on business needs and majority custom built. Some of them have grown in a non-homogeneous way, without a robust and standardized architecture, and with overlapping functionality. Furthermore, they have been costly and difficult to maintain, and present challenges to scale. What\u2019s more, these disparate solutions provide information only, rather than a cohesive means of acting upon it.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>All of this is why the company is now working with Capgemini on the implementation of a CAP-cloud platform (based on Azure) to bring contextualized process data from its breweries, filling, and packaging lines into a consolidated manufacturing data platform.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>This approach will provide access to reliable real time data that serves as single source of truth for the supply chain. It will enable the company to set targets and monitor business performance through KPIs; to develop multiple use cases at scale, leveraging AI\/ML to improve industrial performance and sustainability. It will accelerate solution deployment with minimized effort and investment across a global manufacturing footprint \u2013 and it will be easier and more cost-effective to maintain and to embed improvement evolution.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"h-and-here-s-another\">\u2026 <strong>and here\u2019s another<\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>A global CPR leader wants to optimize its manufacturing systems, reduce downtime, and increase platform efficiency. The challenges are considerable: there are more than 60 manufacturing applications supporting over 3000 manufacturing lines globally, providing a 24&#215;7 support model with a product-centric approach.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The organization is currently working with Capgemini on a comprehensive new digital manufacturing operations solution, encompassing global operations and multiple international centers of excellence. A detailed transformation road map has been created, covering all aspects of operations, technical upgrades, and business outcomes. We\u2019re collaborating with key product vendors on a cost-optimized delivery model that harnesses the best tools and GenAI to deliver benefits that are expected to include a reduction of downtime worth $6-8 million; site reliability engineering (SRE)-driven AI operations to reduce downtime by 34%; standardized service operations and monitoring; and a 25% reduction in (mean time to recovery (MTTR), once again via GenAI.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"h-two-key-takeaways\"><strong>Two key takeaways<\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>There are two factors implicit in the examples I\u2019ve provided above.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The first of these is the usefulness of having an experienced partner. A knowledgeable solutions provider with a solid track record can provide valuable insights, best practices, and support during the transformation process.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The second key takeaway is the importance of a can-do attitude. CPR organizations working in collaboration with trusted partners can create a virtuous circle of energy and enthusiasm, maintaining and building momentum, and taking advantage of the power of digital to deliver lasting value in the physical world.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Major engineering and R&amp;D-intensive (ER&amp;D) businesses recognize the importance of combining digital and physical change. We recently published a report examining the views of ER&amp;D leaders on the challenges they face and the solutions they propose.
