“Digitization in industrial companies in Romania”, a survey by Cult Market Research, ordered by the Industrial Academy, polled 300 companies in the Romanian industrial sector and found 79% target investments in production, 50% in control and 46% in planning.
Labor shortage affects the entire Romanian labor market and industrial companies are looking towards technology, digitization and automation of processes, with 74% seeing this as the main factor that would improve their efficiency. Besides digitization, modernization and training workforce is another driver for efficiency for 61% of respondents, while 49% count on digitization to reorganize process flow, 25% to improve working conditions and 15% seek mechanization.
Still, companies in Romania don’t yet take full advantage of new technologies mainly due to insufficient financing and infrastructure. Just one third of industrial companies have budgets for investments in digitization.
