The New Digital Wave of Manufacturing

From construction equipment requiring the highest torque on the biggest bolts, to driving screws so small the human hand can’t hold them, we’re helping 21st century manufacturers get the most out of Industry 4.0 technologies.

What is Industry 4.0?

Big data, smart factory, automation, advanced analytics, the Internet of Things, cloud computing, and Wi-Fi connectivity. Each term has meaning on its own, but Industry 4.0 is the common thread that ties them together in the new age of manufacturing. McKinsey ingeniously defines Industry 4.0 as the next phase in the digitization of the manufacturing sector.

Used in industrial applications from auto manufacturing to electronics to mining, disruptive digital trends are changing the way manufacturers capture, use, and share data. A small sampling of business benefits: better decision-making that helps increase production efficiency, reduce costs, improve quality, and streamline all aspects of the factory and supply chain. There is data available for whatever piece of production information you want to know, just ask.

From the smallest screw to the largest bolt, we're helping today's manufacturers operate in the middle of disruption.

The future of digitized manufacturing

And that’s just what’s possible now. By next year manufacturing processes will have evolved. 3-D printing is revolutionizing product development and prototyping daily. Once used for household trinkets and toys, 3-D printing now produces detailed prototypes for jet engines, bridges, and heavy equipment. In addition, the use of robotics and AI are now more affordable to organizations of all sizes, meaning wide-scale use is on the horizon.

Adoption is happening, but for some companies, assembly and production processes may be changing too fast. Most of us agree that change is good, but keeping up with it all presents challenges. Retooling, upskilling your workforce, and product development, to name a few, must be aligned and on pace with company business objectives.
