Transforming the factory

Business transformation and innovation could be the two most popular ideas floating around the business world today. They’re also on the minds of manufacturing professionals. That’s because transformation doesn’t end in the C-suite. It’s happening every day on the factory floor, driven by a host of external pressures and enabled by the emergence of digital NextGen technologies.

When we talk about digital transformation, its important to remember that manufacturing is still a physical process that’s still managed by people, and in many instances, still operated by people. More than ever, those processes are enhanced by technology.

In the first of two episodes sponsored by Norgren and focused on the transformation of the factory, Kandice Lord and Ahbinav Agrawal from Alix Partners take a look at the external forces driving leading manufacturers to look to new approaches to their networks and their factories.

This is a must episode for anyone looking to take their factories to the next level. And, for more information on the factory of the future, be sure to visit Norgren, a respected leader in the fields of precise motion control and fluid technology, with customers across more than 50 countries in areas such as Factory Automation, Material Handling, Commercial Vehicles, Rail, Life Science, Energy, and Process Control.
