As-A-Service, At Your Service: Exploring Robotics and Software Services
Is there service that we cannot subscribe to in manufacturing? Robots as a service, software as a service, sensors as a service…well maybe not, or maybe? Spare parts, tooling, maintenance as a service? What about the entire automation system or line “as a service”? Can we pay by bitcoin and operate by blockchain, pay by the minute or remunerate as the items are produced? What are some of the trends and what does the future look like as manufacturers seek innovative ways to move capex to pay-for-service models?

The ROI of Improved Traceability in Supply Chain

As enterprises adjust to evolving global trends and customer expectations, the need for greater visibility into product data is coming to the fore. Knowledge of product components’ origins, and their journey to the consumer, is growing in importance. Companies must invest in new strategies and technologies to improve their ability to serialize and trace their products, which prevents improper reproduction or use of a company’s products and enables quick recalls when problems are discovered. Companies and customers are more invested in sustainability initiatives throughout the supply chain, and serializing — and automating the serialization — of products provides increasing ROI.
