December - 20196 MANUFACTURING TECHNOLOGY INSIGHTSManufacturing industry is one of the sectors that is seeing massive transformation as innovative technologies--IIoT, AI, and cloud at the forefront--drive Industry 4.0 forward. Today, manufacturing industry is reminiscent of sci-fi movie sets; eight feet tall bright yellow robotic arms huddling over prototypes and working their magic and over hundreds of transformers like bots taking over manual tasks.In this changing time, it is imperative for manufacturing companies to ensure that each machine on the production line is operating properly, with maximum efficiency and manufacturing products to exact specifications. As data from different sources are being combined, they can be put into a new context and provide users with a different and more complete perspective of manufacturing operations regardless of where the data originated. Through data analytics, manufacturing intelligence (MI) can help manufacturers monitor the factory's entire infrastructure, know what machines are not producing to the specificity, and improve overall efficiency. Today MI is being used at the plant level to improve collaboration and data exchange between the shop floor and enterprise systems, and/or at the enterprise level to benchmark and compare production runs or predict various plant operations.In the wake of such exciting innovation like MI in the manufacturing ecosystem, putting together this edition has been an exciting journey for us. In this edition Manufacturing Technology Insights, we present to you a list of companies that are transforming the manufacturing landscape with innovative technological capabilities around MI. This edition also blends thought leadership, from subject-matter experts with real-life stories, on what selected vendors are doing for their clients, including exclusive insights from CIOs and CXOs. We hope this edition will provide you with the right assistance in choosing the best-in-class solution for your requirements.Let us know your thoughts!Marketing Intelligence: Preparing for Industry 4.0EditorialCopyright © 2019 ValleyMedia, Inc.
