Indeed, the in-depth insights it was able to glean from data collected from its smart factories provided the team early notice, allowing it to resolve performance variances and uncertainties quickly, according to Bjoern Jackisch, head of operations and supply chain at Henkel Adhesive Technologies for the Asia-Pacific region.
