Every factory has heard of Industry 4.0. Few know where to start, what to prioritize, or how they compare to others in their sector. SIRI turns that uncertainty into a measured baseline and a clear, prioritized plan.
What is SIRI?
The Smart Industry Readiness Index is the global standard for measuring a factory’s digital maturity, developed by the International Centre for Industrial Transformation (INCIT). It evaluates the factory across:
