N2 - Manufacturing industries across the globe are adopting modern technologies rapidly and are now moving towards Industry 5.0. However, many manufacturing units still need to yield their Industry 4.0 level amid reasons including heavy investments in upgrading existing infrastructure and scrapping existing machinery in the name of modern digitalization. These Small and Medium-sized Enterprises (SMEs) need help finding the best-fit technology to meet their business requirement and impact along with the capital to support digitization. In this study, we present one such case of a Danish manufacturing industry, a label printing SME, stranded between conventional technology and a race towards modern digitization. On the one hand, it has old machinery with a large volume of heavy printing and lamination operations with an established customer base. On the other hand, it is willing to digitalize its manufacturing processes (with minimal upgradation in its existing mechanical infrastructure) to enhance its efficiency and sustainability and catch up with the pace of digitalization for further expansion. This can be achieved by nurturing the benefits of digitalization through the latest technologies, such as Enterprise Resource Planning (ERP), Internet of Things (IoT), Edge, Blockchain, Cloud computing, etc. We studied and analyzed the case of the SME in consideration to understand the core requirement and anticipated bottleneck in the process. This paper has presented our findings through related business process flow mappings, challenges, vision, and possible digital architectural solutions using modern-day technologies, scientific approaches and realization tools. These findings and methods will also be value-added and applicable to other SMEs in similar situations. Thus, it enables them to save their Return on Investment (ROI) while adapting to modern technologies with minimal risk, impact and investments.
