Last year’s observed significant acceleration in the digitization of the industry in Poland was a positive indicator. However, the economic reality has modified many manufacturers’ plans, requiring them to postpone subsequent stages of transformation. According to Siemens Poland’s Digi Index 2023 report, companies in the automotive sector are performing best in the area of digital transformation among the surveyed sectors. Still, they are aware of challenges and commit to further investments to enhance digital operations.<\/p>\n
This year marks the fourth edition of the study on the digitization level of medium-sized manufacturing companies in sectors such as Food&Beverage, Chemistry&Pharmacy, Automotive, and Machinery. For the first time, the study also compared large companies. The index, ranging from 0-4, serves as a gauge of the technological awareness of decision-makers and managers of Polish firms. The current year’s Digi Index result for medium-sized firms stands at 1.8, significantly lower than in 2022, with the automotive sector scoring 2.0. Large manufacturing companies employing over 250 workers were included in the Digi Index study this year, reaching a general index of 2.7 and 2.9 for the automotive sector.<\/p>\n
For four years, Siemens has been analyzing the digitization level of medium-sized Polish firms operating in main manufacturing sectors. The result of this analysis is the Digi Index, which scales from 0 to 4. A higher value indicates a greater digital maturity of manufacturing firms, embodying the vision of Industry 4.0 and, consequently, better chances of business success in an increasingly competitive market.<\/p>\n
