Digital transformation remains a top priority for manufacturers, but many initiatives still stall between strategy and execution.
In this episode of Ctrl+Alt+Mfg, Dan Furrow, senior vice president and general manager, U.S. industrial, global accounts and international markets, at Wesco, and Luis Atencio, solutions architect for Wesco’s smart manufacturing team, join the podcast to explore what separates modernization from true digital transformation.
They discuss:
- Why modernization is only the foundation
- How data silos undermine enterprise-wide visibility
- The importance of orchestration when integrating hardware, software and systems
- How AI can support workforce continuity and reduce unplanned downtime
- Why successful initiatives begin with business outcomes, not technology trends
With real-world examples and practical best practices, this episode provides a grounded look at how manufacturers can unlock value from the data they already have.
