Manufacturing

The manufacturing industry is growing slowly, but steadily. Three out of every four manufacturing firms employ fewer than 20 workers, but small manufacturers bear the same regulatory burdens as their larger counterparts, as well as problems finding skilled labor. They face challenges including:

• Readying themselves for the “Fourth Industrial Revolution,” which will be driven by technologies such as the Internet of Things (IoT) and Machine Learning.
• Improving labor and process efficiency and throughput.
• Managing complex supply and distribution channels.
• Competing with larger manufacturers that have greater economies of scale.
• Cost-effectively producing custom parts and goods.
• Meeting customer demand for “smart” and “connected” products.

Manufacturers are investing in networking networking, mobile technologies and IoT tools. Their plants are increasingly automated, and more of them are using advanced software platforms to bridge the digital divide with larger manufacturers.Here’s how Boss Life Communications can help:
