Manufacturing organisations face a variety of challenges when it comes to their IT environment. They need to be able to provide geographically dispersed R&D, plant floor and distribution teams with secure access to the resources required to bring products to the point of consumption faster- with no disruption in the supply chain.
Challenge #1
Manufacturing IT leaders are expected to drive innovation in the business and deliver on key initiatives such as service delivery to globally distributed teams or reducing plant downtime. However, it’s often the case that resource are instead tied into implementing and supporting legacy systems reliant on complex management and manual tasks.
IT leaders can use technologies such as Citrix Cloud computing and desktop virtualisation to centralise and streamline IT operations and infrastructure. This leads to the reduced overhead and increased efficiency needed to cut manufacturing plant downtime, meet production schedules, enable workforce mobility and quickly scale to changing business cycles.
Furthermore, Citrix provides the capability to use Azure Virtual Desktop benefits, enabling a highly scalable, high performance virtual apps and desktops solution in public cloud, while also integrating existing infrastructure and other applications.
Challenge #2
With global market conditions, technology and regulations constantly changing, manufacturing business leaders are under pressure to build a flexible business model that can be scaled according to demand to take advantage of emerging markets, whilst increasing workforce productivity and mobility while meeting strict regulatory requirements.
Citrix solutions enable your IT team to centrally deliver business critical as well as 3D applications and workstations to any facility, device or person. Since this happens in a matter of days rather than weeks or months, your organisation can accelerate product launches and stay ahead of the competition.
Challenge #3
Keeping intellectual property secure is a huge undertaking, especially since sensitive product information passes through many points in the lifecycle- including third parties, and you may also face strict NDA requirements from your customers. However at the same time, it’s crucial to provide your workforce with timely, mobile access to information to accelerate product launches and minimise production delays.
