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.

End-to-End Automation Hype or Hyperautomation?

whitePaper | June 3, 2022

Digital operations are key to maintaining a competitive edge, but most organizations today operate with a mix of different levels of automation, from completely automated to fully manual processes. This variation across the value chain impacts efficiency and customer satisfaction, since an end-to-end process may move through several disjointed manual and semi-automated tasks to reach completion. Moving to a fully digital operation with end-to-end intelligent automation can significantly improve existing business operations, while enabling true transformation: the creation of completely new business models that allow an organization to outperform the competition and expand into new markets.
