How to Prepare for the Smart Manufacturing Revolution

Discover the details on smart manufacturing and learn how your business can plan for its arrival.

Smart manufacturing is the use of advanced, seamlessly integrated technologies to enhance the manufacturing process. It starts by combining the data collected from Internet of Things (IoT) sensors with data derived from the automation workflows, robotics, and augmented reality (AR) solutions your company uses. Finally, it feeds all the data into your Enterprise Resource Planning (ERP) system, allowing your ERP to leverage AI and machine learning to extract instant, relevant insights that inform agile business decisions from minute to minute.

Considering the still sky-high costs of tools like robotics and AR, most manufacturers don’t have the resources to achieve smart manufacturing yet… but the future is closer than you think.

Are You Prepared for Our Smart Manufacturing Future?

At the end of 2022, no one realized that generative AI (GenAI) would change the world within the next quarter. Although multiple GenAI models had already been released to the public previously, an unexpected event occurred in March 2023. Suddenly, GenAI was everywhere. Companies that didn’t use AI fell behind, and many of those companies are still struggling to catch up to their AI-ready peers.

Similarly, although we can all see that smart factories haven’t quite reached mainstream adoption yet, we all know their time is coming. Soon.

And when that future arrives, only the most savvy, well-informed manufacturing leaders will have the power to harness the technology to achieve total end-to-end visibility and control across their supply chains, materials, equipment, labor, and manufacturing processes.
