The Smart Industry Readiness Index
Assess your business’s Industry 4.0 maturity with the SIRI – Smart Industry Readiness Index and unlock real digital transformation potential in your business

The SIRI – (Smart Industry Readiness Index) is the world’s first internationally recognised framework for assessing the maturity of your factory or plant and planning a successful Industry 4.0 transformation.
SIRI was developed by the Singapore Economic Development Board and validated by global manufacturing leaders. In addition, it provides a standardised, objective, and actionable way to evaluate your current state and build a roadmap for digital transformation.
inControl has two fully trained and certified SIRI assessors on staff, with deep expertise in automation, controls, and industrial digitalisation.
What Is the SIRI Framework?
SIRI – the Smart Industry Readiness Index – is built on a structured assessment model covering 8 Pillars and 16 Dimensions. For example, Process covers operations, supply chain, and product lifecycle…
- Process – operations, supply chain, product lifecycle
- Technology – automation, connectivity, intelligence
- Organisation – talent readiness, structure & management
Our certified SIRI experts deliver the assessment and bring hands-on experience in manufacturing, automation, controls, and digitalisation.

🚀 The Smart Industry Readiness Index (SIRI) helps you benchmark, plan, and scale digital transformation across 16 critical dimensions.
By assessing your current state, you can benchmark against other manufacturers. As a result, you can prioritise initiatives with greater strategic clarity:
- – Understand your digital capabilities
- – Identify gaps and improvement areas
- – Prioritise initiatives with strategic clarity
Why Use the SIRI – Smart Industry Readiness Index?
With SIRI, you can help find answers the real-world questions that manufacturers and plant managers are asking:
- – How can we future-proof our business with scalable digital solutions?
- – Where do we begin with Industry 4.0?
- – How do we assess digital maturity across multiple sites?
- – What areas will give us the highest ROI if we digitise them first?
- – Which technologies should we implement — and in what order?
- – What KPIs should we track for digital transformation success?
If you’re serious about beginning an industrial digitalisation journey for your factory or plant, starting with a clear understanding of your current state is essential. The Smart Industry Readiness Index (SIRI) helps you assess where you stand, so you can prioritise effectively, act with expert insight, and set your Industry 4.0 project up for lasting success.
Connecting Smart Machines and Factories
True industrial digitalisation is built on the seamless connectivity between automation assets, enterprise software, and physical facilities—three of the sixteen dimensions within the SIRI framework. However, these critical elements are often overlooked by software providers, yet without them, meaningful progress is impossible.

Benchmark your own Smart Factory maturity against others

One of the major benefits of the SIRI framework is that it allows you to benchmark your factory against…
– competitors in your sector
– other facilities in your group
– businesses regionally or globally
As a result, you can set clear, realistic goals and track progress with confidence.
The Role of Automation in SIRI
In addition to benchmarking, SIRI goes beyond software. It recognises the vital role of control systems, industrial networks, and automation infrastructure in successful digitalisation.
inControl’s engineering team has over 25 years of experience. Therefore, we bring expertise across:
- – SCADA, PLC, and HMI systems
- – OT/IT integration
- – Secure industrial networking
- – Digital twin and simulation environments
These often-overlooked foundations of Industry 4.0 are essential for making your digital roadmap deliver results.
The SIRI framework follows the LEAD model:
LEARN – build a common language and understand Industry 4.0 concepts
EVALUATE – measure maturity across all your factories
ARCHITECT – design a comprehensive transformation roadmap
DELIVER – implement initiatives that drive lasting impact
