The Robot Revolution: The New Age of Manufacturing.

The robot revolution is here. Manufacturing, supply chain, logistics…all are changing. Automation is happening faster than ever. Learn about it and get involved before it passes you by.

The new age of manufacturing is often referred to as Industry 4.0, and it is characterized by the integration of advanced technologies, such as artificial intelligence (AI), the Internet of Things (IoT), and robotics, into manufacturing processes. This has led to a number of significant changes in the manufacturing industry, including:

Increased automation: The use of robots and other automated systems has increased significantly in manufacturing, leading to a reduction in the need for human labor.
Improved efficiency: The integration of advanced technologies has allowed manufacturers to optimize their operations and improve efficiency, leading to cost savings and improved productivity.
Increased customization: The use of advanced technologies has also allowed manufacturers to offer more customized products, as they are able to use data and analytics to understand customer preferences and tailor their products accordingly.
Increased transparency: The use of IoT and other technologies has increased transparency in manufacturing, allowing manufacturers to track the movement of goods and materials through the supply chain and identify opportunities for improvement.

Overall, the new age of manufacturing and the robot revolution are transforming the way that goods are produced and leading to significant changes in the manufacturing industry.

Innovation and Manufacturing Quotes

“Why not make the work easier and more interesting so that people do not have to sweat? The Toyota style is not to create results by working hard. It is a system that says there is no limit to people’s creativity. People don’t go to Toyota to ‘work’ they go there to ‘think” ~Taiichi Ohno
“Without change there is no innovation, creativity, or incentive for improvement. Those who initiate change will have a better opportunity to manage the change that is inevitable.” ~William Pollard
“Make no mistake, the world is changing. Are you going to wait for the world to change around you or are you going to be part of the change? Get up to speed on artificial intelligence and be part of the future. The future is now!” ~Dave Waters
“Imagine where your company would be if it didn’t adapt and leverage the Internet. That will be the same way if your company doesn’t get involved with the Internet of Things (IoT).” ~ EverythingSupplyChain.com.
