These are unprecedented complexities in the manufacturing sector that will require companies to evaluate how operation layouts need to be modified to assure safety and operational efficiencies. These design decisions have a material impact on the productivity and efficiency of the production line and, hence, your business. How can manufacturers begin to effectively model and make these trade-offs? If necessary, how can these changes to the production line be persistently maintained and efficiently updated in the future? What is the “next normal” for these companies?

Automation has been a driving force behind greater productivity and efficiency in manufacturing companies since the 1980s. In the 2020s, a new generation of applications will enable even more production companies to benefit from the potential of automated processes. Advances in sensor technology and networking enable increasingly complex tasks to be performed reliably and safely by robots. Thanks to high-performance sensor technology, they can automatically react to many changing circumstances. Connected to the Internet of Things (IoT), the robots automatically provide information about progress and incidents. Via a remote connection, the IoT technology can be provided with new instructions, monitored, and remotely operated if necessary.

The ultimate goal for composite manufacturing is the fully automated production of complex composite structures. This is being accomplished for unreinforced plastics and metals with modern Additive Manufacturing (AM) technologies. Automated Fiber Placement (AFP) achieves automated thermoset composite lay-up but requires an autoclave or other post process.

Additive Manufacturing (AM) which is also known as 3D printing has received increased attention over the last couple of years and has proven to be an innovative manufacturing technology that can be applied in multiple industrial sectors. However, the term „Additive Manufacturing“ includes a large variety of technologies that offer different advantages and disadvantages. Moreover, according to the desired characteristics of the finished part, one technology can be more suitable for the manufacturing of the part than another. This results in the challenge to select the adequate technology for a specific application.

Digital operations are key to maintaining a competitive edge, but most organizations today operate with a mix of different levels of automation, from completely automated to fully manual processes. This variation across the value chain impacts efficiency and customer satisfaction, since an end-to-end process may move through several disjointed manual and semi-automated tasks to reach completion. Moving to a fully digital operation with end-to-end intelligent automation can significantly improve existing business operations, while enabling true transformation: the creation of completely new business models that allow an organization to outperform the competition and expand into new markets.
