Making things: competitively
Small and medium manufacturers (SMMs) face growing competition from large multinational firms. As these companies seek the cost-savings available from a connected global economy, many have moved production offshore and out of the communities they serve.
Local manufacturers must remain competitive by implementing the right automation technology, increasing productivity, and identifying savings and efficiencies across their facilities.
