A rising concern for global manufacturing industries is a shortage of skilled workers. Technological advancements, an aging workforce and change in job roles are driving skills gap.
The National Association of Manufacturers says a record 522,000 jobs remained open in the sector in September 2019. A report by The Manufacturing Institute and Deloitte in 2019 found that 2.4 million jobs may be left open due to a lack of trained workers in the next decade.
An engineering-driven company such as Festo is not immune to these challenges. Festo’s decision to adopt a blockchain-powered platform to tackle such issues has led to improved performance.
“Our first experiences with CredSure have shown very promising results.
