Advanced Manufacturing Technology Resource Guide
Many manufacturers are taking advantage of a new set of tools and technologies to tackle their traditional challenges: reducing cost, improving quality, increasing delivery performance, and providing a safer work environment. The tools and technologies are part of what is broadly known as Manufacturing 4.0, Industry 4.0, Smart Manufacturing or Advanced Manufacturing.
SCMEP has created the Advanced Manufacturing Technology Resource Guide to help manufacturers understand how to leverage technological advances and look for partners who can help them on their journey.
