Innovation increases your value proposition.
Digital transformation is helping to foster a manufacturing industry that believes in innovation. The focus is on providing enhanced value from existing products and services, exceptional experiences at every customer touchpoint, and opening new lines of business. This can all be achieved with new processes, organizational change management, and digital technologies such as mobile devices, digital software solutions, and IIoT.
Drive Higher Customer Satisfaction
Digital transformation initiatives focus on bringing new experiences to your customers — meet their needs faster using innovative tools while you foster loyalty and drive future purchasing.
Gain New Insights
Data derived from digital technologies can be used to see new trends that will drive decision making and build your next generation of digital experiences.
Fuel Growth
Manufacturers are realizing that the barriers that once existed when expanding to new lines of business are now much lower, if not gone altogether.
Drive Higher Profits
Streamlining business processes through digital transformation makes your customers happier and your business stronger. The use of digital technology automates or eliminates redundant tasks, reduces data errors, and improves overall process visibility, which saves you time and money.
Change Your Culture
Setting out on the path to digital transformation brings innovation and change to your culture. Thinking outside the box is the new norm.
Digital transformation for every manufacturer.
Today digital transformation is no longer reserved for the largest manufacturers. All manufacturers can reap its astounding benefits.

How to Transform.
True digital transformation starts with a clear understanding of your greatest opportunities to elevate customer experiences and business processes. The strategy you use to implement this change starts with a change in culture that must start at the top. At Synergy, we are helping companies start this journey and develop the true skills and tools needed to succeed.
ERP
Today’s ERP capabilities are leaps and bounds ahead of legacy systems and often times include new planning tools, business intelligence, artificial intelligence, etc.
Automation Tools
Robotic Process Automation (RPA) – automate your software to save time, improve compliance, and eliminate mistakes
Self Service Analytics
Many reporting tools today require technical experience to modify and create, however some products provide the ability for reports and analytics to be modified by the end user. This eliminates bottlenecks and empowers your users.
Industrial Internet of Things (IIoT)
React in real-time & improve your results by understanding data gathered from various sources including machines on the shop floor
Advanced Robotics
With increased mobility, integrability, adaptability, and perception advanced Robots & Cobots are increasingly used on the shop floor in areas such as kitting, setup, assembly, testing, etc.
Mobile Devices
Mobile Devices on the shop floor, in the field, or wherever you need to do business enables you to enter, retrieve, and analyze data in real time
Data Capture/Cloud Computing
On-demand availability of your software via the internet allows you to get work done while the “cloud” manages data storage, provides computing power, and handles security
Machine Learning
Algorithms that use historical data to uncover insights, determine relationships, and make predictions about future trends
Artificial Intelligence
Smart machines and software capable of performing tasks that typically require human intelligence. AI can improve your manufacturing business by interfacing with software via voice commands, rationalizing massive data sets and providing decision makers predictive or prescriptive analysis, etc.
Augmented Reality (AR)/Virtual Reality (VR)
simulation tools (i.e. setting up the shop floor in a more efficient way by using VR to spot trouble spots)
E-Commerce
B2B, B2C, and other portals that enable greater sales, self-service, and other benefits for customers, suppliers, and internal users
3D Printers
Additive Manufacturing is a process where parts are “printed” through successive addition of layers
Cobots
Combining the use pf people and robots within a process
Analytics
Descriptive, Predictive, and Prescriptive
The Smart Factory
The Smart Factory is redefining productivity for the 2020’s. We are on the verge of a real paradigm shift that will change everything – the connected employee, the smart factory – where real-time data, connected machines, and predictive capabilities contribute to greater forward motion.
Welcome to the Age of Networked Intelligence.
Watch this video to learn how the Smart Factory has evolved and become the cornerstone of Manufacturing Innovation.
Our manufacturing customers enjoy impressive results.
Our customers have experienced incredible results from forward thinking digital transformation initiatives.
- Carolina Precision Machine was able to increase capacity by $1.5 million with no additional machines.
- In Indiana, another customer was able to build a personalized dealer/distributor app and increased sales by 80% by having an always on sales force.
- The global supply chain has been optimized for efficiency and speed at Napoleon in Barrie, ON, enabling strategic continuous improvement using PO automation.
We have seen many customers taking advantage of unlimited mobile access to clock in and out of shop or field service orders from a mobile tablet that facilitates real-time data collection.
Throughout the U.S. and the world, manufacturers of all sizes and industries are discovering the tools of tomorrow and kick starting their own digital transformations to better serve their customers and stay competitive.
