How flexible manufacturing makes your operations more transparent and smarter
Discover how flexible manufacturing combines manufacturing simulation, execution, and automation to transform fast or flexible processes into agile and automated operations.
Consumer packaged goods manufacturers are looking to speed-up their manual operations or to inject agility into automated operations. Both goals are essential for addressing the needs of a new generation of consumers. Process and hybrid industries have scaled their manufacturing operations according to the FAST or FLEXIBLE paradigm resulting from the 3rd industrial revolution. With truly autonomous machines still a generation away, what can manufacturers do today to establish the Industry 4.0 operations and add agility to their value chain?
