How do you choose and leverage the best emerging technologies for manufacturing?

Choosing the best-emerging technology is one of manufacturings’ biggest challenges. Especially given the ever-changing digital demands and expectations of your customers.

It’s easy to talk about smart, agile, and lean manufacturing. However, those terms mean something different to everyone you talk to, like digital transformation.

As a manufacturer, you understand how critical emerging technologies are …that is a given.

Technology touches every part of your manufacturing company.

But despite all of the promises of IoT, machine learning, artificial intelligence (AI), and connected devices, this new abundance of connected people and devices must be managed, cyber-secured, organized, centralized … and, of course, always accessible.

At Imagine IT, we focus on business strategy first, and technology second

Tools for managing cyber threats

This fourth industrial revolution, heralded as Manufacturing 4.0, offers an era of the tremendous potential for innovation and growth.

However, it also brings new risks and challenges evident in today’s Manufacturing cyber landscape.

There is a false sense of security for small to mid-size manufacturers

Adding emerging and advanced technologies requires equally sophisticated cyber security solutions. Unfortunately, a large percentage of manufacturers have yet to create the cyber capabilities to secure their business-critical systems.

Manufacturers need a fully-layered, enterprise-grade cybersecurity solution.

Using technology to help tackle the labor shortage in manufacturing

Attracting and retaining top talent

Unemployment rates have set an all-time high for the past few years. And manufacturing isn’t immune to this. It’s actually one of the most affected industries.

IT and technology can address these challenges by:

Automating repetitive tasks
Improving company culture
Quantifying your successes
Digitizing onboarding and training
Matching digital tools to digital skills
Continuous training to help build new vital skills
Offering remote-ready technology
Allowing for a hybrid office

When you become a digital-first manufacturer, you become a place that people want to work

Making remote work or a hybrid office successful in manufacturing

The physical nature of manufacturing makes remote work challenging.

As a majority of employees shifted to working from home, the manufacturing industry was hit hard … with many operations simply shutting down or forced to run with minimal staff on the shop floor.

To free your workforce from the office and shop floor, you must first …
