Smart Manufacturing for Electronics

Smart Manufacturing for Electronics

Modern electronics manufacturing has many challenges: supply chain uncertainty, longer lead times, and the increasing costs of materials and components that change by the minute. There are also constant staffing fluctuations, resource constraints, and the high price of energy. On top of all these problems, manufacturers also manage the complexity of global manufacturing with multiple capabilities, partners, and suppliers while delivering a high mix of customized products. They must balance it all while managing quality vs. yield and planning for future production needs.

Why make your factory smart?

Smart manufacturing is the digital strategy that encompasses the entire manufacturing process, from PCB design and factory floor optimization to enhancing the flow of materials between warehouse and shop floor to incorporating customer feedback data to help you plan new designs. Whether you have one plant location or multiple sites in a global enterprise, smart manufacturing makes it all work flawlessly together, from design to production, driving higher efficiencies throughout the manufacturing process.

How do you keep up with component supply issues, balance staff, and resources, and still deliver products on time without passing the cost onto your customers? 

The answer is to make your electronics factory "smart," to make it operate as efficiently as possible with leaner operations for more effective use of resources and more predictable inventories. When your current manufacturing processes work smarter, with connected, intelligent systems that track production in real time, they work more holistically so that every operation works flawlessly together.

How will making your factory smart benefit you?

  • Increase efficiency - update production capabilities with smart layouts and automation, reducing manual operations and quickly adapting lines to new products
  • Improve lead times - balance resources and staff fluctuations to reduce bottlenecks, streamline throughput, and respond faster to day-to-day changes
  • Save time - standardize assembly processes across plants, balance production lines, create work instructions, and more
  • Reduce costs - manufacturing control systems provide real-time insights into process and product intelligence and KPIs
  • Reduce waste - optimize material consumption and equipment utilization and create schedules for all new product introductions

These are just a few reasons why smarter is better. We invite you to learn more.
