2026 will reward manufacturers who connect the dots: modernize OT and data foundations, deploy agentic AI with strong governance frameworks, electrify strategically, and measure progress with capital and carbon efficiency in mind. Next year will be about freeing trapped value from legacy manufacturing constraints, compressing time-to-market, and reducing the cost of competitiveness.
