Smart Manufacturing & its many benefits
Smart manufacturing is gaining momentum owing to the evolution in the manufacturing sector. In addition, with coronavirus pandemic plaguing the world, it is pertinent to look for solutions enabling seamless production. The dependence on manpower is going to reduce drastically in the sector mainly due to the penetration of smart manufacturing. It is a combination of various technologies and solutions which collectively, if implemented in a manufacturing ecosystem, is known as smart manufacturing. These innovative technologies and solutions are “enablers” helping in optimising the entire manufacturing process and further increasing the overall profits.
In the current scenario, there are various enablers that are listed below
- 1. Industrial internet of things
- 2. Industrial Robotics
- 3. Artificial intelligence
- 4. Blockchain in manufacturing
- 5. Cyber security
One of the most important drivers of smart manufacturing is Industrial Internet of Things (IIoT) applies Internet of Things technology to manufacturing. IIoT incorporates machine learning and big data, harnessing sensor data and automation. The big idea behind IIoT is that smart machines are better than humans at capturing, analysing and communicating some types of data. With the implementation of IIoT, manufacturers can find out about weaknesses sooners and find solutions to the problems faster than before.
The rise and adoption of smart manufacturing in the production is going to increase further owing to the reduction in the technology costs. The presence of cheap connected devices along with the availability and affordability of mass computing power is one of the biggest facilitators of Smart Manufacturing.
