Robots and automated assembly equipment can help address the labor shortage while making companies more profitable and efficient. However, not all automation systems are the same, nor do they deliver the same level of success.
How can manufacturers make the critical transition from data to action? How do they effectively navigate the overabundance of data to pick out what’s meaningful? How do they use these insights to drive overall productivity and efficiency in an automotive context?
The answer to these questions involves deploying a three-tiered IIoT approach that provides automotive OEMs and suppliers with a comprehensive digital roadmap for their operations.
