Manufacturing is rapidly moving into an era in which emerging IIoT-based technologies, new materials, advanced fabrication approaches, and digitalization are converging to change the face of production systems, manufacturing processes, supply chains, and even the work force. Digital transformation affects all stages of the product lifecycle; from design, simulation, production, maintenance, to service in the field.
At the recent ARC Industry Forum in Orlando, Florida, the theme, “Industry in Transition: Realizing the Digital Enterprise,” was very evident in the Advanced Manufacturing Technology for the Factory of the Future session. This session featured a presentation by an automotive company with radical new designs, a new manufacturing model, and new go-to-market strategy; plus a call to develop the next generation of manufacturing workers by an industry institute.
The session examined emerging manufacturing technologies like additive manufacturing and hybrid machine tools, applied materials science, advanced predictive and prescriptive analytics for manufacturing that use machine learning, operational intelligence, cloud-based connectivity for production equipment, IIoT, the digital twin, virtual reality and augmented reality, advanced simulation solutions, and more.
Advanced manufacturing technology is bringing significant changes and improvements to production systems and services. It is also bringing about the complete re-thinking of new business models based on IIoT, the digital twin, and factory/supply chain ecosystems. Leading PLM and other design/build solution suppliers, along with production automation and controls suppliers, are working closely with manufacturing technology adoption leaders to lead the way for industry as a whole.
