How Not to Repeat Supply Chain History
Digital investments – including cloud-based technology – can transform supply chain risk management and create long-term value. By Marc Waco and Bobby Bono Supply chain issues might seem like a problem of the past. In fact, a majority of business leaders are focusing more on basic, near-term priorities and challenges in their supply chains and less on actions and investments that would be transformational and create long-term value.
Optimizing Manufacturers' Use of Automation with Upskilling
A trio of pandemic related challenges over the past several years—global supply chain bottlenecks, ongoing labor shortages and rising inflation—are forcing manufacturers to optimize operations and find ways to do more with less. A recentNational Association of Manufacturers (NAM) survey reveals that 45% of manufacturers say that worker shortages have left them unable to take on new business and have led to lost revenue opportunities.
Autonomous Vehicles Won’t Just Change our Roads, They’ll Change our Factories, too
Automating the movement of materials within manufacturing operations is nothing new. Indeed, automated guided vehicles (AGVs), conveyors, sorters, and shuttles have been moving and handling materials, parts, and product for decades. But now, thanks to advancements in sensor technology, 3D camera systems, software, and artificial intelligence, these machines are increasingly capable of seeing their environments and, more importantly, learning to identify what they’re seeing.
Can You be a First Mover in Industrial Mobility?
When it comes to self-driving vehicles, passenger cars may grab most of the headlines, but they aren’t capturing most of the investment in the space. According to a PwC analysis, of the $6.8 billion raised by autonomous-transport startups since 2012, about 62 percent has gone to companies working on technology for vehicles ranging from drones to unmanned forklifts and tractor-trailers, all pieces of the larger ecosystem of industrial mobility.

Report: Industrial Manufacturing Trends Pt. 2
Of course, new investments alone aren’t enough. Industrial manufacturers need additional skills as well; they must figure out how to manage a superabundance of new data so that it becomes useful and not overwhelming; adapt technology to run their own supply chains and operations more seamlessly; monetize digitization; find talent adept at industrial software programming and analytics; and build strategic partnerships that won’t compete for market share.
Report: Industrial Manufacturing Trends Pt. 1
Industrial manufacturers inhabit a world littered with uneasiness. Global demand for manufactured products is growing at a snail’s pace. Output is expected to increase just 3.1 percent in 2016 and 3.4 percent in 2017, according to the International Monetary Fund. Growth is dampened by Brexit concerns and political uncertainties.
2017 Industrial Manufacturing Trends
4. Mine operational data If connected machines — the primary components of the Internet of Things (IoT) — are to be the backbone of industry in the near future, industrial manufacturers will have to figure out how to manage the data coming from an avalanche of sensors, integrated equipment and platforms, and faster information processing systems.
