Remote Work Is Already Shaping Operations in the 'Next Normal'
The COVID-19 health crisis has pushed many organizations to reduce physical interaction among their workforces to an absolute minimum. In a very short period, work from home (WFH) and work from anywhere (WFA) have emerged as standard features of the "Next Normal."
Taking the Next Step in Automation: Overcoming the Challenges to Automate Manufacturing
Manufacturers looking to take the next step and increase production often look to increase automation, but often they run into a situation where off-the-shelf solutions just won't work due to the unique circumstances of their process or packaging requirements.
When this occurs, even the major automation companies will pass on the project. So, they need to turn to more flexible industrial automation integrators that can design, build and integrate robotic handling systems, filling systems, machine tending automation, assembly solutions, inspection systems, packaging equipment, labeling/marking systems, palletizers, etc.
