Global Benchmark
SIRI is used by manufacturers, industry bodies, and governments to create a consistent digital-readiness baseline and a more disciplined transformation roadmap.
The Framework

What Is SIRI?

SIRI is an independent, globally validated framework developed to help manufacturers objectively measure digital transformation maturity and understand what to prioritise next.

Unlike subjective self-assessments, SIRI is delivered by certified assessors using a structured scoring methodology and benchmark database, producing a credible view of current digital readiness.

Objective & Independent

Delivered by certified assessors using a consistent scoring methodology, giving manufacturers a benchmark they can trust.

Globally Benchmarked

Compare your factory against peer groups by industry, region, and maturity level using a recognised global dataset.

Prioritised Roadmap

Translate assessment results into a ranked transformation roadmap tied to impact, feasibility, and readiness.

Track Progress Over Time

Repeat assessments show whether transformation initiatives are improving readiness across the dimensions that matter most.

Methodology

The SIRI Methodology

Four interconnected components work together to provide a digital maturity benchmark and an actionable transformation roadmap.

Longitudinal & Evolving Assessment of Digitalisation

LEAD Score

A composite score that helps manufacturers compare digital maturity across sites, sectors, and future assessment cycles.

Framework Structure

Three Building Blocks

SIRI evaluates digital readiness holistically across Process, Technology, and Organisation, the three pillars of industrial transformation.

01

Process

Assesses how digitalised, integrated, and responsive operational processes are across production, engineering, and supply chain execution.

Horizontal IntegrationVertical IntegrationEnd-to-End EngineeringFlexibilitySmart Manufacturing
02

Technology

Measures the maturity of industrial connectivity, intelligence, automation, and the enabling technology foundation for transformation.

ConnectivityIntelligenceAutomationAdditive ManufacturingCybersecurity
03

Organisation

Evaluates whether leadership, workforce, governance, and ecosystem participation are ready to sustain digital transformation.

Who Uses SIRI

Built for Manufacturers, Ecosystems, and Assessors

SIRI works equally well as a factory-level digital benchmark and as a structured tool for governments, agencies, and delivery partners scaling transformation programmes.

Manufacturers

Understand readiness, benchmark against peers, and focus digital investments on the dimensions that will move performance fastest.

Repeatable progress tracking

Governments & Agencies

Deploy SIRI across ecosystems to benchmark industry digital maturity and target support programmes where they will create the greatest lift.

Sector-wide readiness baselines
Targeted policy and grant design
Comparable national benchmarking

Partners & Assessors

Deliver consistent, evidence-based transformation assessments with a methodology trusted by manufacturers across regions and sectors.
