Digital Manufacturing

More and more equipment in a molding cell can not only tell you how well it’s operating, it can communicate that information to its fellow machines, with the collective cell adjusting in real-time for the most efficient process possible.

The shift towards digital manufacturing has accelerated during the coronavirus outbreak, as remote work requires machines that update their status over the Internet.
