DECEMBER 20206 MANUFACTURING TECHNOLOGY INSIGHTSThe recent manufacturing solutions are rendering supply chains smarter, rapid, more customer-centric, and supportable. From the expanding integration of AI and utilising the power of big data to nurture more active adoption of eco-friendly production and packaging materials, sustainable practices can aid forward-looking organisations to enhance their environmental footprint for the future.The manufacturing industry is usually at the forefront of innovation and technology and has already started to witness colossal investment in artificial intelligence (AI) and machine learning (ML) in recent years to boost efficiency. Despite, as companies get into their footstep in a new decade, the perception that AI and ML technology can also have a considerable impact on sustainability is continuing to expand, making it an imperative trend to keep an eye on this year and beyond. Furthermore, developments in AI now furnish manufacturing enterprises with improving capability to predict more precisely with regard to consumer demand, streamline production processes and automate specific processes through robotic machinery in real-time.As consumers are becoming more aware of the environmental concerns, several companies are changing their existing take, make and throw away model for a circular economy alternative that focuses on reusing, reducing and recycling. A significant part of this movement is driven by expanding government and social pressures to reduce and restrict the usage and production of single-use plastics, which is forced not only by consumer values but also through bans and charges in certain countries. However, there are other benefits to carrying out a circular economy that facilitates sustainability and profitability all together by diminishing the amount of waste generated within the manufacturing industry.As materials manufacturing metamorphosis continues, we present the top 10 materials manufacturing companies in Europe. This edition also features insightful articles on the varied hues of materials manufacturing and their adaptations.Let us know your thoughts!Sustainable Practices to Improve Environmental FootprintEditorialCopyright © 2020 ValleyMedia, Inc.
