IDC PeerScape: Asia/Pacific Manufacturing Practices to Improve Shop Floor Visibility and Efficiency Through Automation and Internet of Things
This IDC PeerScape outlines three essential practices that organizations should embrace to fully leverage the advantage associated with the deployment of automation and IoT on the manufacturing shop floor. These practices allow manufacturers to prioritize use cases to improve business priorities and address market-driven challenges. These practices can help manufacturers achieve higher levels of shop floor visibility, ensure better process consistency, and increase overall operational efficiency."The convergence of automation and IoT in the manufacturing industry is revolutionizing the way products are designed, produced, and delivered. By integrating intelligent automation systems, robotics, and IoT-enabled sensors, manufacturers can achieve enhanced precision, ensure cost savings, and accelerate time to market. This enables manufacturers to achieve greater operational efficiencies, optimize resource utilization, and capitalize on new business opportunities in an increasingly competitive global market," says Dr. Wai Yee Lee, research manager, IDC Manufacturing Insights.Disclaimer: This information is intended for general purpose use only.
