Smart manufacturing silently transforms the industrial landscape as companies gradually begin to incorporate advanced technologies like AI, IoT, and robotics into their day-to-day operations. This evolution does not pertain just to 'faster' or 'more efficient' capacity in production but to creating a workplace that attracts the best talent and can keep them engaged.
Take a typical manufacturing company a few years ago: the focus was mostly on output, efficiency, and cutting costs. Today, the picture is different. These companies started realizing that their success did not depend only on the technology in use but on the people who operated it. In order to remain ahead, they had to be more than efficient—good places to work.
