Quote: “Convincing the general management to participate in the proof of concept is the most difficult. Factories are always facing challenges, have limited resources and dedicate their time cautiously to new things. So, it takes time. But, once the test is in place, most of the times, the appetite grows rapidly and adoption too. Opening the gate is hard, but when you succeed, then they provide you with full support and want ,as much as you, to make it a success.”
