Ensuring manufacturing sustainability is about meeting your business needs, while also minimizing your negative environmental impact. Manufacturing businesses are increasingly recognizing the importance of minimizing their carbon footprint without lessening product quality. Eliminating waste within manufacturing lines allows you to meet environmental responsibilities while also improving your efficiency, minimizing costs, […]

Scrap deeply hurts profits in manufacturing. Manufacturing rework, waste, scrap, and defects all add up to product recalls, warranty returns, and after-sales servicing expenses. ­According to Forbes, poor product quality can cost manufacturers up to 30% of their total revenue. Products are becoming increasingly complex and production processes are being […]

If you fail to gather sufficient data on your manufacturing costs, it becomes nearly impossible to know if you’ll hit revenue targets. Also, if you don’t know how to calculate the cost of production, you won’t know whether your production process is running as efficiently as it could be. Without […]

How can augmented reality increase revenue, accelerate sales cycles, and energize customer engagement? Companies around the world are watching it accelerate time-to-market, improve product ROI, and enhance customer loyalty.
