Increasing Competitive Edge Globally

Automation solutions can be viewed as a cure to long standing problems in manufacturing like high energy consumption, frequent breakdowns, accidents, delays in production delivery and more. In a glance, automation solutions can be viewed as a cure to long standing problems in manufacturing like high energy consumption, frequent breakdowns, accidents, delays in production delivery and more. As we zoom out further from focusing on these individual issues, it is key to note, that with all these issues minimised, production capacity grows, waste is reduced, quality improves and there are higher retained earnings. All these positive outcomes can lead to a manufacturer’s competitive standing in their industry. A plant that can improve its quality, output and delivery time will mostly retain its customers and attract new business.

Growth into new markets globally is also made possible with high standards of production through automation. Automation solutions can incorporate global industry and compliance standards into the production systems, facilitating seamless cross border quality assurance for export production according to the customer’s industry and country requirements.

Having a skilled workforce will add to the manufacturers competitive edge. Automation solutions improve the knowledge, skill sets and capabilities of existing workers. Workers with repetitive tasks can now move towards managing and troubleshooting automated systems. New skills of analysing and leveraging on data can be channeled to improve the production processes.

Real time data that is processed and presented through solution dashboards can assist in reducing energy usage, waste and emissions from the plant. This will help improve sustainability practices for the manufacturer and increase their appeal in the global market.

Savings enabled through proactive management of the production line through data driven decisions are key for business growth strategies in the long run. A percentage of the retained earnings can be used for research and development for new products, innovations and value offered to the industry.

Automation solutions reduce uncertainty in a manufacturing facility, enhances human potential and control both onsite and remotely.
