Higher product variety
More variants and customised production.
The next generation manufacturing solutions
The manufacturing landscape
Higher product variety, shorter life cycles and increasing quality demands are pushing manufacturers to seek faster, smarter, more connected solutions.
The industry is evolving
More variants and customised production.
Faster launches and frequent changeovers.
Smaller tolerances and traceability requirements.
Growing difficulty in maintaining operational skills.
Challenge
Even with advanced machines, many factories still operate in isolation with limited visibility, manual intervention and disconnected data.
Manual intervention
Skilled labour shortage
Quality variations
Production bottlenecks
Limited visibility
Unplanned downtime
Advanced machines alone don’t create an intelligent factory. The challenge is making the entire production environment work together.
The industry response
To stay competitive, manufacturers are increasingly investing in automation and smart manufacturing technologies.
80%
Manufacturers are increasing investment in smart manufacturing.
30–50%
Potential productivity improvement through digital manufacturing.
70%
Manufacturers face difficulty in finding skilled workers.
800+hrs
Annual production capacity can be lost due to unplanned downtime.

Business impact
Technology only matters when it improves production. Connected automation translates directly into better performance across the shopfloor.
Illustration: parts flow steadily through three connected machines.
Increases
Illustration: a gauge filling to 86% machine utilization.
Increases
Illustration: four uneven bars become four bars of equal length.
Increases
Illustration: a manual operator is replaced by a working robot arm.
Decreases
Illustration: a stop-start timeline of traditional operation next to a continuous timeline of connected operation, with the machine online.
