全球制造业报告显示：亚太制造业数码化领先全球！

普华永道昨天（4月17日）发布一项全球制造业报告显示，有32％的亚洲公司正计划在下来五年建立成熟数码生态系统，其中包括倡导业务的数码化，端对端的整合，以及数码化产品与服务等。

相比之下，美洲区只有24％公司有类似计划，而欧洲、中东和非洲地区的公司则有15％。由此可见，亚洲制造业者的数码化进程不但领先同行，而且这差距预料会继续扩大。

该调查共访问全球制造业公司约1155名执行人员，了解它们对第四次工业革命（Industry 4.0）时代的看法，从中制定了数码成熟度指标（digital maturity index），反映制造业者的数码化进展阶段。

While Industry 4.0 is transforming manufacturing rapidly, only a small group of companies are in a position to gain real competitive advantages from this operations revolution. In PwC’s Strategy& Global Digital Operations Study 2018 only 10% of global manufacturing companies are dubbed as Digital Champions. These companies view digitization in ways that are far-reaching and aggressively innovative, well beyond mere automation and networking.

In the report, 19% of the manufacturers from Asia have achieved the Digital Champion status, compared to 11% in the Americas and 5% of companies in EMEA. It seems like the region’s young and tech-savvy corporate managers who are embracing digital technologies, as well as soaring compensation and production costs, have pushed manufacturing companies in Asia Pacific to digitize their key operations processes at a much faster rate than elsewhere in the world.

根据调查，有19％亚太制造业者已达到“数码领先者”（Digital Champions）的地位，实施、试用或准备采纳物联网（IoT）和先进机器人等崭新科技。这比率高于来自美洲（11％），以及欧洲、中东和非洲（5％）的制造业者。

就领域而言，较大部分的“数码领先者”是来自汽车和电子制造业，分别占20％和14％。反观消费产品、工业制造和加工工业等领域，数码化进展阶段远远落后，同样只有6％业者达到“数码领先者”地位。
