Forrester’s Low-Code Unlocks Agile and Integrated Industrial Manufacturing explains how low-code application development platforms help manufacturers improve agility, efficiency, collaboration, and integration across IT and operational domains. The whitepaper shows how industrial organizations can reduce development costs, break down silos, modernize legacy systems, connect COTS software, and build more adaptable applications that support product quality, faster manufacturing cycles, and end-to-end value chain visibility.

Industrial manufacturers are under pressure to improve quality, control costs, and accelerate digital operations. The report highlights that 43% of respondents prioritize improving product quality, 42% prioritize digitizing app development, and 38% want to speed up manufacturing cycles. Yet 89% say their organizations are siloed to some degree, while high software costs, legacy systems, and rigid infrastructure put development at risk. This whitepaper shows how low-code can support faster issue resolution, lower software and integration costs, better data visibility, and stronger IT/OT collaboration.
