Data-Driven Action: Beamex CEO Calls for Industry 4.0 to Move Beyond Pilot Projects

After years of pilot projects, industries must move beyond experimentation and begin delivering tangible results. This is the perspective of Jan-Henrik Svensson, CEO of Beamex, in his critique of the slow progress of Industry 4.0 adoption.

Across the calibration field, companies are striving to modernize with digitalization, AI, and circular economy practices. Yet, as Svensson notes, over 70% remain in “pilot purgatory,” unable to advance beyond initial phases, according to the World Economic Forum.

“Every sector launches pilot projects with great fanfare, but when it comes to scaling and achieving real-world results, the silence is deafening. What’s holding us back?”

He identifies fear of change, decision paralysis and organisational silos as the primary obstacles preventing the successful scaling of pilot projects.

Read his analysis to learn how accurate data is essential for informed decision-making and scaling initiatives in process manufacturing.
