Schneider Electric’s factory in Lexington, KY, has been mass-producing electrical equipment for more than 60 years. But, the low-mix, high-volume assembly plant is not sitting back and living in the past. Instead, it has become a state-of-the-art showcase for the future of digital manufacturing.
The brownfield facility recently underwent one of the most dramatic transformations in its history. Today, the 500,000-square-foot factory has a bright future, because it’s a leader in applying Industry 4.0 tools that empower operators, reduce costs and improve productivity.
