Emerging technologies, such as advanced analytics and artificial intelligence, are transforming the world of production and creating new opportunities for industry, society and the environment. Data is critical, as is companies ability to manage it effectively. While manufacturers are making strides in this area, most focus on data within their companies and have difficulty maximizing their return on investment and driving innovation at scale.

Industry 4.0—also referred to as smart manufacturing, connected manufacturing, the Industrial Internet of Things (IIoT), and other monikers—has revolutionized the way companies manufacture, enhance, and distribute products through the use of new technologies. However, not all sectors and markets are evolving at the same pace. To help both manufacturing providers and industry leaders understand the landscape, ABI Research’s Industrial & Manufacturing Markets Research provides insights, perspectives, and data related to digital maturity within individual markets and across the industry landscape. Our research illuminates drivers and inhibitors that are shaping adoption of digital technologies across market maturity, practitioners’ investment priorities, and best practices for deploying the technologies. We keep abreast of key trends, including increasing demand for electric vehicles and semiconductor chips, the adoption of machine learning and automation, and a reliance on digital twins.

Modern manufacturing theory, tools, and best practices are focused on how to make thousands or millions of identical parts or products at a low cost per unit. Custom and low volume production pose unique challenges that require manufacturers to adapt from typical mass production models. Thanks to the rapid development of technologies and materials over the last decade, additive manufacturing has grown more capable as a true manufacturing tool and can now enable the fabrication of these custom and low volume end-use parts rapidly and cost-efficiently. This white paper presents Formlabs 3D printing hardware and material solutions for end-use part production. It documents various users' case studies and includes stress testing results to verify the suitability of 3D printing materials for end-use applications.

Industry 4.0 and the Industrial Internet of Things (IIoT) create significant challenges for users and manufacturers of systems and devices. Most machine and system manufacturers as well as most production companies lack adequate experience when it comes to using smart networks. Even though, modular automation concepts with increasingly decentral distribution of control intelligence have already been around for some time. The decentral components – including safety controllers – communicate more and more via network technologies. However, many manufacturers and users hardly think about security issues. Cybercriminals use this fact to sabotage or extort companies, or to carry out espionage
