ABB Robotics’ third Automotive Manufacturing Outlook Survey, in partnership with the leading publication Automotive Manufacturing Solutions, has highlighted how moving to the “Smart Factory” is viewed as a critical next step by global manufacturers and major suppliers.

Unlock the potential of smart factories with machine vision, a transformative technology that enhances efficiency and productivity by delivering actionable data in real-time. Explore how it’s revolutionizing manufacturing in the era of Industry 4.0.

Today’s manufacturers are under pressure to be more flexible, reduce downtime and costs and increase efficiencies.

Although automotive parts suppliers use a variety of testing equipment to conduct a wide range of tests and inspections—and within specific tolerances, which warrant highly precise tools and processes—original equipment manufacturers have refined these inspection practices over the course of decades.

Modern smart manufacturing brings with it greater efficiency, increased productivity — and new challenges for collecting and analyzing measurement data. How can you achieve absolute precision in both production and reporting?

The new site, which primarily will produce metrology systems for the MI division, will utilize Hexagon’s smart manufacturing technologies to produce and calibrate the systems, as well as house software development and customer support teams covering the wider Hexagon portfolio.

The manufacturing sector is currently saturated with Industry 4.0 (aka the Industrial Internet of Things or IIoT) hype and jargon. This is no surprise given the evidence showing that the connectivity of systems and exploitation of data can add significant value to modern manufacturing processes and supply chains.

There are a lot of industry buzzwords out there—the cloud, IoT, UX, Smart Factory—that are supposedly connected to the next renaissance of manufacturing.
