What is Smart manufacturing?

Smart manufacturing (SM) involves the integration of digital technologies, such as the internet of things (IoT), artificial intelligence (AI), robotics, and cloud computing, to create intelligent and interconnected manufacturing systems. It also incorporates the use of sensors and data collection devices that help optimize the manufacturing process by providing real-time data, enabling predictive maintenance, reducing downtime, improving quality, and increasing the agility of the systems. It also facilitates a sustainable and eco-friendly production process by reducing waste, energy consumption, and emissions. As a result, it finds application in the automotive, aerospace and defense, chemicals and materials, healthcare, industrial equipment, electronics, food and agriculture, and oil and gas industries across the globe.

COVID-19 Impact:

The COVID-19 pandemic outbreak has caused a severe problem for the smart manufacturing industry and imposed unprecedented challenges on numerous countries. The world faced considerable difficulties due to the novel coronavirus COVID-19 as the pandemic affected businesses and adversely affected the financial conditions and results of operations. The policies and interventions of the public and private sectors to minimize the transmission of COVID-19, such as the temporary business closures, the imposition of travel limits, and the implementation of remote work, changed the way the company and its customers were work significantly. Moreover, the pandemic significantly reduced the demand for products, changed consumer preferences, and caused disruptions in manufacturing and supply chain operations. It also disrupted restructuring initiatives and posed limitations on the ability of employees to work and travel. Besides this, significant changes in the economic or political conditions in the market limited the growth of the market.

Smart Manufacturing Market Trends:

At present, rapid digitization and the escalating demand for automation across numerous industry verticals represent one of the key factors positively influencing the market. In addition, the increasing need for accessing real-time data for optimizing operations and making data-driven decisions is creating a favorable market outlook. Moreover, consumers are increasingly demanding customized products that require flexible and agile manufacturing processes. This, coupled with the growing concerns about uncertainties in the supply of raw materials and rising operational costs, is catalyzing the demand for SM solutions to boost the productivity and efficiency of enterprises. Additionally, the growing environmental concerns, increasing emphasis on sustainability, and rising demand for a supply chain equipped with sensing, advanced control, modeling, and simulation capabilities, are catalyzing the demand for SM worldwide. Besides this, governments of various countries are funding research and development (R&D) activities for the industrial internet of things (IIoT) and industrial 3D printing projects. This, in confluence with the increasing utilization of 3D printing in the healthcare, construction, defense, retail, and pharma industries, is catalyzing the demand for SM across the globe. Furthermore, the burgeoning food and beverage (F&B) industry and the growing focus on offering high-quality products while keeping production, maintenance, and distribution costs low are impelling food manufacturers to upgrade their conventional manufacturing unites into advanced ones. Therefore, the adoption of SM technology and advanced manufacturing equipment for controlling the operations of machines are resulting in significant development of the F&B industry. Furthermore, the advent of smart devices and increasing penetration of high-speed internet are stimulating the growth of the market across the globe.
