Smart Manufacturing: Crucial for Small and Medium Manufacturers, Critical for Large Manufacturers to Support Them
Smart Manufacturing technologies have been around for more than 10 years. However, they have been almost exclusively deployed at large manufactures since they have been too complicated and unaffordable for SMMs.
In this talk, we describe the impact of Smart Manufacturing technologies on productivity, responsiveness and resiliency, explore a new way to deploy Smart Manufacturing technologies at Small to Medium-sized Manufacturers (SMMs), and discuss why large manufacturers should actively help SMMs with their digital transformation to achieve supply chain resiliency.
We end with a discussion of how Artificial Intelligence, IoT, cloud, and 5G will impact the Digital Transformation of all manufacturers.

Manufacturing did better than expected in 2020 as consumers spent less on services – what happens as they return to that service orientation. Will supply chain issues drive more on-shoring and re-shoring?
