3 Ways Manufacturers Can Leverage Insight Engines

As distributed manufacturing gains adoption by some of the world’s largest companies, products are finding their way into the hands of customers faster than ever before. But in the process, companies are becoming increasingly disconnected and less efficient in new areas.

However, distributed manufacturing creates new challenges in the form of separate entities, languages and processes.
