Internet of Things Simplicity and usability have presented a
need for technology that can be built up quickly by members of an organisation outside of the department. 2022 will see the rise of the business technologist - employees who sit outside of IT but still create technology for commercial use. With the need for seamless UX that suits
business technologists, manufacturers should expect to see a rise in the composable business model. Composable business models based on the idea that all business processes can be created using a set of interchangeable, modular building blocks. Composable business is enabled through
open and easy-to-use application programming interfaces (APIs) - software intermediaries that allow applications to communicate. By combining the functionality APIs with interchangeable, modular building blocks common business processes can be implemented also by non-IT staff. Using the philosophy of composable
business and reusable APIs, 44 per cent of organisations are developing plans to enable non-IT users to integrate data sources to gain actionable insights into their facility’s operations. With the acceleration of the
On top of this, the pandemic placed
unprecedented levels of pressure on already under capacity IT teams, who were tasked with facilitating a rapid shift to remote working and increasing automation on the factory floor to keep the workforce safe. And according to Mulesoft's 2021 Connectivity Benchmark Report, the pressure on IT is showing no signs of stopping. On average, IT teams were expected to deliver 30 per cent more projects in 2021 than 2020. At the same time, less than four in ten teams completed all projects asked of them. With this in mind, the demand for low-
code enterprise software is likely to increase to alleviate this pressure. Low-code software, like Crosser’s Flow Studio, allows existing OT personnel to automate industrial processes themselves without any input required from software developers. With the pressure on IT sure to continue into 2022, it’s likely that we’ll see a growth in the low- code market to prevent the restriction of industry’s digital transformation.
Accessibility through APis
Ensuring a seamless digital user experience (UX) is essential for manufacturers looking to upgrade to Industry 4.0. All more often, employees are expecting the same quality of UX at work as they are at home, presenting manufacturers with the challenge of competing with the UX of tech giants like Facebook and Amazon.

digital transformations showing no signs of slowing down, adopting this technology in 2022 will allow manufacturers to empower their IT teams and business technologists alike to streamline their operations using prebuilt APIs, for more efficient operations. For manufacturers looking to adopt any
of these technologies, Crosser’s suite of low- code solutions can support your digital journey. The Crosser Platform allows the real-time analysis and automation of any data source, while Crosser IPA - industrial process automation - is a hyperautomation essential, allowing non-developers to design intelligent workflows and integrate siloed systems across all business functions. The unpredictability of the last couple of years
has prepared businesses across all sectors to expect the unexpected. Manufacturers have had no choice but to integrate technology to make their operations more flexible, scalable and digital. But like any innovation, new digital technologies are never far away. So, preparing for what is next will help manufacturers to gain a competitive edge and keep their digital operations at the edge of innovation.
