October, 20186 MANUFACTURING TECHNOLOGY INSIGHTS As technology is starting to pervade in all major industries, sustainable change can be seen in the way manufacturers are responding to the market. Since time immemorial, we have seen manufacturing at the vanguard of technology because it has always been involved in research and development. For instance, IIoT has come a long way since its inception, and tech-savvy leaders are merging several operational and information department of the industry to boost operational efficiency, productivity, and quality. The major factor thriving IIoT is that it helps manufacturers in delivering superior customer satisfaction and retention through value addition. Furthermore, VR and AR will enable great simulations where manufacturers can examine and develop multi environments for product design, production, and assembly long before the products are rolled out. AR/VR will facilitate problem-solving at low cost and risk along with increasing the quality of products being developed. Beyond these, AR/VR will also be leveraged for employee training which will enable trainees to immerse in virtual scenarios that will enable manufacturing personnel to respond to real problems in a better way. In today's age of Industry 4.0 and industrial internet, data is becoming one of the core pillars of modern innovation as it enables manufacturers to drive actionable insights with the right data. The availability of better data transfer and monitoring systems enables manufacturers to streamline the flow of raw data and make more informed decision-making. However, amidst these developments manufacturers will also face several challenges as the connected world brings crime opportunities for hackers.
