Why Manufacturing Companies Should Be Using DevOps

DevOps is one of the most popular methodologies for technology companies today. With so much discussion about it, it’s easy to assume DevOps is merely a buzzword and only applicable to the tech industry. But what does the term really mean, and more importantly, how can manufacturing companies use DevOps to streamline their own success and ongoing development?
The term DevOps, a combination of development and operations, represents long-term, agile collaboration between the two typically disparate teams. Although it traditionally refers to app and software development processes, DevOps tenets can also be applied to industrial processes and production methods.
Like many tech companies, manufacturers are facing increased pressure to expand rapidly, produce more quickly, and innovate agilely. DevOps principles can help manufacturers accomplish those goals by streamlining communication and collaboration among teams throughout the company.
