Discover how our total suite of manufacturing technologies is revolutionizing factories and supply chains.
Advanced manufacturing is undergoing an incredible shift, driven by digital technology and industrial automation. We’re helping manufacturers amp up productivity, streamline processes and spread intelligence across the factory line. How? By developing connected machines that collaborate with connected workers. By automating processes and preemptively avoiding failures down the line. And by developing IoT solutions that bring real-time data and visibility to every tool, component and process.
Panasonic has long been a market leader in semiconductor assembly equipment and software, with a reputation for making famously reliable products. Today, we’re combining our decades of manufacturing expertise with thinking that looks far into the future.
In short, we see no limit to what smarter manufacturing technology can accomplish when applied across the factory floor, workforce and supply chain. By focusing on this interconnectivity, we’re creating dramatically better solutions for Industry 4.0 and beyond.
Intelligence is equipment that can do more, without any operator involvement. Like machines that can automatically retool in a high-mix production environment to keep assembly lines working at peak efficiency. And equipment that can self-diagnose and alert remote maintenance teams to service it, using predictive analytics.
Intelligence is assembly tools with built-in error prevention, and smart handhelds and tablets that streamline the jobs of pickers and packers in shipping and warehouse operations. At Panasonic, we’re infusing these and other smart technologies into every nook and cranny of today’s factories.

In dynamic manufacturing settings where production has to keep moving, workers and machines need the right part at the right place at the right time. Our IoT solution makes materials location-aware, eliminating the need for paper instructions in material containers. The system simplifies how components are picked from bins and delivered, and streamlines workflow routing by ensuring the right operator instructions automatically appear at the right workstation when needed.
By incorporating Panasonic error-proofing solutions, factories can prevent a process from replicating defects by detecting and correcting human error. Our complete line of qualifiers communicate wirelessly with our assembly tools, for a 360-degree approach to quality manufacturing. Comprehensive solutions like this are just one example of how we’re increasing production efficiency.
We’re proud our manufacturing initiatives are building a better future through:
