Manufacturers looking to improve their processes require precise and accessible real-time statistical process control (SPC) data.

Here are six trends that the most efficient labs are adopting in order to achieve a competitive edge.

When a process is constantly monitored and organized, manufacturers can guarantee optimal processes.

How does a manufacturer choose the right solution? When assessing ERP solutions, manufacturers should consider the following.

Real-time process management using SPC software has never been more cost-effective, providing substantial benefits by consistently meeting customer requirements with minimal labor expense.

Computer-aided engineering (CAE) event connects users to new workflows and domain experts.

The Internet of Things (IoT) and, in a broader sense, the Fourth Industrial Revolution (Industry 4.0) is the omnipresent new paradigm in manufacturing today, profoundly affecting the way manufacturers are operating or are planning to operate.

Enterprise Resource Planning (ERP) software and systems help manufacturers plan and direct business operations. Contemporary manufacturing ERP systems can integrate into any business process, producing a comprehensive business management platform.

Artificial intelligence and predictive modeling still require a human element: Especially staff to capture data, manage insights, deploy the software, guarantee production quality and more.

Smart manufacturing, like many other industry “smart” initiatives, harnesses a plethora of integrated people, process, and technological elements to drive successful value creating outcomes.
