When I asked Aidir about the widelyspread claim that digital transformation has undergone a ten-year evolution , courtesy of the pandemic , he suggested that it had sped up the process , but IMI were already evolving their supply chain norms long before the global event . “ As a British company , in addition to the pandemic , we have been focused on potential disruption , delays and costrelated issues related to Brexit . Our Supply Chain Digital Twin , for example , was created to evaluate Brexit impact , and then expanded to other events . It helped us immensely to quickly react to the effects of the pandemic .”

“ Beyond Supply Chain , the digital transformation effort had to be accelerated to cover all aspects of the operation , including relationships with customers and suppliers , remote customer assistance , inspections , and last but not least , how our products must adapt in a digital world .
