Our take

As digital transformation sweeps across sectors, legacy industries such as manufacturing struggle to keep pace. It can be complex to employ "one-size-fits-all" solutions at scale, and the time and money required to do so can put organisations off.

Ferry is here to help, by supplying a platform that enables manufacturers to create and own their digital factory applications. Its modular manufacturing execution system is able to form the backbone for whatever the user needs and leverages the data they already have to enhance their processes.

With modules including AI analytics and plug-and-play automation, Ferry delivers everything that manufacturers need to digitally transform efficiently and at scale. The company is well placed, then, to pursue its goal of supporting Industry 4.0.
