In today's industry sector, it has become increasingly common for manufacturers to use digital systems to support their services. Companies that do not respond to this development risk being threatened as competitors can offer more responsive and customized offers. The purpose of this study is to investigate the use of digital solutions among manufacturing industries in Sweden. The study also aims to investigate whether there is any link between the utilization of digital solutions and the total turnover in year 2017. The German research institute Franunhofer ISI has carried out a survey of manufacturing industries in Europe. This survey is called EMS and stands for European Manufacturing Survey. The study is based on the answers from manufacturing industries in Sweden and is the empirical data in the study. To answer the study's questions, the SPSS program was used. SPSS is a digital computer program that analyzes statistics. Two ANOVA tests were conducted to see whether there is a link between the level of use of digital solutions and the total turnover of businesses in year 2017. In the second test the utilization of digital solutions and type of manufacturing industry were compared. A test for pairs of observations is also carried out to see if there is a link between the different solutions. The result indicated that IT systems for controlling/planning production (as part of business systems or separate systems) are the most widely used digital solution among all manufacturing industries in Sweden. It appeared that there are three digital solutions that link the total turnover of industries in year 2017 and the level of use of digital solutions.
