Implementation & adoption
Who should own a connected manufacturing system after implementation?

Direct answer
Ownership is usually shared but responsibilities must be explicit: operations owns the behavior and response process, engineering or programming owns manufacturing definitions, IT owns infrastructure and identity, and a named business owner decides priorities. Without this split, dashboards survive while data quality and action routines decay.
Practical checkpoint
Name one accountable person for uptime, configuration, data definitions, user access, training, and the weekly improvement review.
