The 4 Main Challenges Facing Today’s Manufacturers

July 12, 2022

THE 4 MAIN CHALLENGES FACING TODAY’S MANUFACTURERS
Modern manufacturers succeed when they balance the types of jobs they accept with the capabilities they offer, and maximize the value of both their equipment and their personnel. Shops that fail to optimize their capabilities and remove inefficiencies from their processes may be unable to produce at their real capacity and meet expected quality standards. To improve efficiency and reach their production potential, shops must discover ways to meet four main challenges, especially as highmix, low-volume (HMLV) production gradually replaces mass-quantity output in multiple industrial environments.

Modern Edge Computing Accelerates Smart Manufacturing Initiatives for Discrete Manufacturers

whitePaper | September 21, 2023

Automation is improving the overall productivity of discrete manufacturing plants and facilities, delivering a range of goods from automobiles and electronics to furniture and toys to countless other items. The complexity of coordinating personnel, work procedures, material handling, and automated equipment – all while meeting production goals – make increasing digitalization and use of data across the enterprise and in production essential. Perhaps most important is the ability to put the control engineer, line worker, and design engineer in the middle of this critical data to derive actionable insights and provide real-time decision support. The constantly growing capabilities of digital technologies are creating more opportunities for discrete manufacturers to drive increasingly reliable and more efficient operations.
