Transcript of listicle
Listicle text included for screen readers:
Smart factories are adopting innovative technology to connect the factory floor,
automate processes and achieve greater productivity.
Let’s take a look at four key trends that enable you become a factory of the
future.
1. IIOT & INTERCONNECTED MACHINERY
The Internet of Things (IoT) initiated the latest industrial revolution
(Industry 4.0) and the emergence of the smart factory. Using the Industrial
Internet of Things (IIoT), organizations can create an intelligent
decision-making environment of connected devices.
This interconnection enables manufacturers to utilize real-time data, reduce
costs, innovate processes, track inventory, improve safety and more. As the IIoT
continues to expand and evolve, it remains a top manufacturing trend to watch in
2022.
2. WEARABLE TECHNOLOGY
It’s time for a factory wardrobe change. Wearable devices have arrived in the
manufacturing space, providing a host of benefits.
These innovative devices span from smartwatches to personal protective equipment
and VR goggles. Emerging IIOT-connected wearable devices are able to monitor
worker safety, optimize inventory management and collect real-time data. With
rapid technological advancement, expect to see an expansion in wearable
technology for connected factories.
According to Statista, the number of connected wearable devices worldwide will
rise to 1.1 billion in 2022.
3. PROCESS AUTOMATION
Automation has accelerated across the industry and will continue its rise
throughout the new year. The new age of manufacturing includes instant data
access, shorter lead times, lessened downtime and seamless production.
By utilizing Industry 4.0 technologies to automate processes, you’ll enjoy:
* Reduced time on repetitive tasks
* Decreased waste and raw material costs
* Increased accuracy and production speed
* Reduced downtime and risk of human error
As automation tools evolve, these technologies can also prepare purchasing
proposals, ensure compliance, repair damages and enable factories to run 24/7
for continuous production.
87% of the hours spent on activities performed by workers in production
occupations
are automatable.
4. SMART SUPPLY CHAIN MANAGEMENT
Today’s global supply chain is more complex than ever before. According to the
World Economic Forum, there are more than four trillion consumer products made,
shipped and sold globally every year.
Following the disruption caused by COVID-19, many envision the future of a fully
connected supply chain. This connection involves end-to-end visibility and
integration across one defined system, improving efficiency, speed, cost-savings
and future predictions.
The first step? Smart supply chain management. Manufacturers can achieve this by
embracing Industry 4.0 technologies, including IoT, artificial intelligence and
machine learning software, advanced analytics and cloud-based systems.
TRANSFORMATION TAKES INSIGHT.
There’s no question that technology is transforming manufacturing, but the
challenge of adopting latest trends can be daunting. At Insight, our team of
experts will analyze the unique challenges of your organization and find the
technology right for you.
Don’t shy away from Industry 4.0 — become a factory of the future with Insight.
