Manufacturing Technologies to Watch
Advanced technologies are essential for keeping pace in an ever-changing industry. That’s why manufacturing organizations are embracing intelligent tools that streamline operational processes and track productivity to optimize their front-line efficiency.
Explore how modern factory devices can help you achieve better business outcomes.
Enhancing front-line output with device sensors
In recent years, front-line manufacturing workers have been impacted by:
- Abrupt rises and falls in demand
- Supply chain disruptions
- Worker safety concerns
- The shift to remote work
State-of-the-art device sensor tools enable you to face these obstacles confidently.
Industrial Internet of Things (IoT) device sensors let you monitor equipment, output status and machine performance in real-time, allowing you to make more informed business decisions, protect employees, meet production needs and better prepare for what's next.
3D printing
3D printing is at the forefront of how front-line workers tackle their dynamic design workflows.
With the rise of these groundbreaking tools to drive innovation and business growth, manufacturers are also seeing:
Shorter lead times: Reduced time to produce specific parts helps avoid time-consuming, costly tooling production steps.
Design complexity capabilities: A cost-effective technology for producing parts for even the most complex designs
On-demand production: 3D printing can quickly produce physical parts from digital files, ensuring a new manufacturing model on demand.
Virtual and augmented reality
Industry 4.0 and smart factory technologies like virtual and augmented reality can be incorporated into:
- Operational processes
- Training programs
- Product development
VR and AR training modules
Virtual and augmented reality are vital components of manufacturing workforce training, letting staff engage with virtual interactive environments or overlay virtual elements within their physical environments.
VR and AR-enabled training empower front-line staff with:
- A safer learning environment
- Hands-on training
- Confidence and deep knowledge of equipment
