Abstract

The study explores the impact of smart manufacturing on the digital maturity of the medical device industry. The research aims to assess smart manufacturing technologies contributions to digital maturity, focusing on technological advancements, connectivity features, and overall industry improvements. The literature review highlights the importance of operational efficiency, quality improvement, product customization, and regulatory compliance as primary drivers for adopting digital technologies in the medical device industry. Additionally, the study emphasizes the significance of a robust data strategy, seamless digital integration, and smart manufacturing practices. The study adopts a mixed-methods approach, combining qualitative and quantitative data to understand the impact of smart manufacturing on digital maturity, involving a comprehensive literature review and a survey of industry professionals from India and Ireland. Findings suggest that digital maturity positively impacts operational efficiency and product quality, with potential benefits including enhanced quality, efficiency, and innovation through advanced technologies like AI, IoT, and big data analytics. However, challenges such as data security and system interoperability need to be addressed. The research recommends a supportive organizational culture, leadership commitment, and continuous employee training to drive digital maturity, ultimately fostering innovation and competitiveness.
