Technology adoption by manufacturing and supply chain sectors still slow in SEA By Advancements in technology have witnessed higher technology adoption with more processes automated in most sectors and industries around the world. Be it manufacturing, finance, or healthcare, modern technologies have allowed businesses in these sectors to not only improve their efficiency but also increase their productivity overall. Today, AI-driven technologies have revolutionized the way we work, especially after the effects of the pandemic. In Southeast Asia, the pandemic has accelerated the digital transformation of not just large enterprises, but small and medium-sized businesses as well. However, according to a survey by AIBP and Oracle, close to half of manufacturing and supply chain professionals perceive their companies to be lagging in the industry. The survey was conducted on IT professionals in manufacturing and supply chain companies across the largest economies in Southeast Asia — Singapore, Indonesia, Malaysia, Thailand, Philippines & Vietnam.
