AEVO Innovate Interview
Jeff Winter, one of the leading influencers in Industry 4.0, challenges us to think critically: Are we truly innovating or just optimizing what’s already outdated? In this compelling webinar, we dive into the core issues that define the future of manufacturing and digital transformation.
In this episode we cover:
Transformation vs. Optimization: How do you differentiate real innovation from simple upgrades?
Role of the Shop Floor: Why the shop floor is central to successful digital transformation.
Common Pitfalls in Tech Investments: The mistakes companies make when tech investments lack clear ROI.
Scaling Innovation: The challenges and strategies for scaling innovation within factories.
Turning Frontline Ideas into Results: How AEVO helps companies turn ideas into measurable outcomes.
This is more than just a buzzword—innovation is a choice. Companies treating innovation as a core capability, not a side project, are the ones driving forward.
