CONTRACT MANUFACTURING IN VIETNAM INCREASES PROFITABILITY
Vietnam has emerged as a leader for outsourced manufacturing among southeast Asian nations due to its exceptional cost competitiveness and consistent high quality. Vietnam’s location — adjacent to established supply chains across the border it shares with China — provides original equipment manufacturers (OEMs) with alternative sourcing as the costs of doing business in China escalate. Hourly labor rates in Vietnam are significantly lower than other nearby countries; and the nation has implemented strict laws and regulations to protect the intellectual property of foreign companies. The marketplace and political conditions together have enabled Vietnam to sustain the highest economic growth rate in the world since 2000. Understanding Vietnam’s unique financial advantages can help OEMs that outsource manufacturing to achieve a lower total cost of ownership that fuels higher profits and growth.

Demystifying a Digital Twin for Agile Process Manufacturing

whitePaper | February 24, 2023

Business demands have forced manufacturers to be more agile. Smart manufacturers are adopting technology, specifically digital twins, to move faster. Using a digital twin in a manufacturing environment can fast-track discovering bottlenecks, drive efficiencies, lower costs, reduce environmental footprint, and help manage risk. However, there is mystery around digital twins, from defining what they are and their strengths to the critical importance of an ecosystem approach to address the diversity of digital twin scenarios. The goal of this paper is to demystify digital twins, so more manufacturers can apply the technology and bring agility to their operations.

Compilation of Views on the Smart Manufacturing Industry

whitePaper | July 8, 2022

Manufactured goods are placed into products in multiple verticals. For example, a battery will be placed into an electric car or a magnet into an MRI machine in a hospital. Manufacturing, therefore, covers all industrial internet of things’ verticals, from smart cities, to automated vehicles to healthcare and mining. Not to mention the factories themselves. The GIO Smart Manufacturing Working Group was established to bring these threads together and examine factories, deployments and modes of manufacturing, from batch-size-one to discrete manufacturing and continuous-process manufacturing. Our focus so far has been in the factory, which will be discussed throughout this paper

OPTIMIZE WORKFLOWS WITH MOBILE ROBOTICS

whitePaper | March 3, 2022

Thanks to innovations in vision, mapping, safety and other technologies developed for self-driving vehicles, AMRs have overcome traditional barriers to automation in distribution centers (DCs) and complex manufacturing operations. They’re smart enough to “share the road” with human co-workers and other vehicles, find a different route if their original path is blocked, and respond to rapid changes in orders or logistics needs — all without human intervention. AMRs are also highly cost-effective, requiring minimal information technology (IT) or infrastructural changes and only a short integration period to learn their surroundings.
