To navigate a journey, you need to know where you're starting and ending. Similarly, understanding your current position and your industry benchmarks is crucial for success. The Smart Industry Readiness Index (SIRI) is a digital maturity assessment for manufacturers, to help them start, scale, and sustain their manufacturing transformation. The Industry 4.0 SIRI Assessment helps businesses identify their starting point and compare to peers. It reveals areas for improvement, showing where they can bridge the gap with leaders or confirm their top performer status. The assessment provides a comprehensive review of key areas ripe for digital transformation, empowering management to develop a prioritized plan. The evaluation is conducted in-person over 2-3 days and is conducted by a Certified SIRI Assessor. To learn more about Smart Industry Readiness Index, please visit INCIT.org

The assessment, guided by the Smart Industry Readiness Index (SIRI) criteria, provides an unbiased evaluation, offering the organization a thoughtfully assessed starting point to develop a strategic plan.
Following the assessment review, additional services can be provided once both parties have reached a mutual understanding.
