Platform Engineering in Manufacturing: Role, Effect, Challenges and Opportunities

Abstract

This research is focusing on platform engineering systems in manufacturing. It’s a trial to uncover the role, effect, opportunities and threats in this field. The research used qualitative approach, were 3 cases have been thoroughly investigated. Relevant interviews with open ended questionnaires were used to enrich the theory and have a practical flavor of best practices and local cases. The research recommends that manufacturing businesses invest in effective platform engineering processes. This can involve building a flexible and adaptable platform ecosystem that can support collaboration, experimentation, and innovation across the entire supply chain. The research concludes that in addition to that Platform engineering is also ensuring efficiency, adaptability, and security.
