Top 6 Manufacturing
Trends to Watch-Out For 2018
It’s
time for all the manufacturers to transform to Industry 4.0 and we shall give
you a list of technologies that you as a manufacturer should look forward to in
2018.
3D Printing: Its one of the biggest recent
advances in manufacturing and automation, you can design the product digitally
and the same shall be produced using IoT. Some of the advantages of
implementing 3D printing are, it’s cost effective as it optimally utilities raw
material required for the product and the excess raw material can be re-used;
Consumes very less time for production.
Robot/Automation: Talk of automation in manufacturing
tends to focus on industrial robots, for obvious reasons. The robotics
market is growing at an unprecedented pace and vague worries about job loss due
to automation however misguided often take shape in visions of robots replacing
individual workers on production lines. Industries have already got 15-25%
improvement in quality with automated production lines.
Unstoppable Intelligent Manufacturing: Usage of IoT and Robotics can help
industries run 24*7 as machines do not need weekends to relax. With the help of
Nano-machines, (the small machines required to manufacture molecular level of
material) simultaneously manufacturing products can lead to efficiency and is
cost effectiveness. The highly intelligent machines work accurately and detect
errors that is hard to recognize through the human eye.
Watch out
for these new trends and adapt as soon as possible to make your factory a Smart
Factory and be a part of 4th Industrial Revolution today.
Internet of Things (IoT): IoT is a network where all of your
physical devices are connected with each other which would let the devices to
exchange data without human to human or human to computer interaction. Your
devices will start communicating with each other without your interference. Example:
Multi functional lights that Glow red when you’re late to work, they can also
help you to reduce electricity use by automatically turning off the lights when
no one is in a room or help to secure your home while you are away by turning
your lights on and off.
Augmented Reality: An enhanced version of reality
where live direct or indirect views of physical real-world environments are
enlarged with covered computer-generated images over a user's view of the
real-world, thus enhancing one’s current perception of reality. Augmented
reality uses your existing natural environment and simply overlays virtual
information on top of it. It shall help the manufacturers design the work area,
machines; repair the machines and the finished product digitally with very less
human intervention.
Artificial Intelligence: Artificial Intelligence is the
intelligence that are displayed by machines, it’s a branch of computer science
that aims at creating intelligent machines. Artificial intelligence is designed
in a way that lets the machine reason, plan, learn, speech recognition, problem
solving as well as self-correct. With artificial intelligence machines work and
react just like humans with minimal inputs. This is very beneficial in tasking
routine jobs to machines.
