In recent years, technologies like AI, robotics, IoT and 3D printing have revolutionised “how we make”. But the changes to date are just the start.
A more profound reconfiguration of the sector is now underway – driven by an array of pressures that are disassembling the industry’s existing structure, and catalysing the formation of a new manufacturing ecosystem that’s more diverse, tech-enabled and collaborative.
Are you ready for this revolution?
In the reconfigured manufacturing ecosystem, advances in technologies like AI, robotics, additive manufacturing, material science and green energy will accelerate value creation along the entire value chain.
Manufacturers will collaborate with robotics companies on advanced systems for assembly lines, quality control and packaging. And they’ll partner with AI firms to integrate ML for predictive maintenance and demand forecasting.
While some companies are ahead of the curve in embracing circularity and its economic dividends, there is an opportunity for many more across manufacturing sectors to release the potential it offers. So how can you get started?
