How new technologies will change the manufacturing industry?
This week’s must read
Manufacturing companies have seen extraordinary disruption in the last year. The COVID-19 problem has expedited digitalisation, increased the incidence of cyber assaults, and changed consumer behavior. The epidemic has exposed flaws in manufacturers’ end-to-end processes, emphasizing the need for increased resilience and agility.
This Week’s Must Read is an insight piece from Anil Khurana, Pwc on how global manufacturing executives are refocusing their plans and priorities as they look beyond the pandemic.
Thought Leadership
With AI algorithms that perform manufacturing and quality checks, shorten design time and reduce material waste, manufacturing teams can maintain high quality levels and resolve production defects early.
Over the last decade, the use of robots in industrial facilities has been a hotly disputed issue of rising relevance. As robotics become more prevalent in the manufacturing process, it’s important to analyze how sophisticated technologies affect the job of the production worker, particularly in terms of safety.
To decrease waste and costs from their operations, product manufacturers have pioneered the creation of just-in-time systems. Manufacturers must make their companies and operations more sustainable in the face of climate urgency and pressure from authorities, shareholders, and customers. So, how do they pull it off?
Manufacturing experts cite decreased time and costs involved with developing new goods, lean production, fewer waste, and modest energy use as the most significant advantages of Industry 4.0.
Furthermore, digitization helps firms to expand their product lines by delivering bespoke items in small amounts.
