Digitisation for Construction Product Manufacturers

The sector is painfully aware of the lack of reliable information and the effect it has on the bottom line. A major part of the solution will be for manufacturers’ product information to be digitised and structured so it can pass through the supply chain safely and accurately.

A new plain language guide has been published which aims to help manufacturers prepare for the data needs of the supply chain and asset owners. This independent, impartial guide has been produced by the Built Environment Panel of the Institute for Engineering and Technology.

Su Butcher from the Editorial Board introduced the guide and discussed the importance of digitisation and how manufacturers can be empowered to take control of their data asset.
