All augmented reality challenges are tidily connected one to another and are significant and global. They include:
• Skills shortage due to an ageing workforce and the changing nature of manufacturing
• Managing the demands of a global supply chain that requires an effective communication between sites.
• Properly leveraging the huge amount of data available
Just how closely they are linked was highlighted in a recent survey conducted by consulting giant PwC of 2,200 executives from enterprises in 53 countries.
In asking about their “Digital IQ” of these companies, PwC sought to get insight into where they saw a potential emerging skills gap.
