Manufacturers need to put more emphasis on so-called sustainable practices rather than just focusing on the banal objectives of efficiency and productivity improvements, according to InfinityQS Global Channel Programs Director Jason Chester.
After COP26 it became clear that the actions needed to fix climate change are now becoming a serious priority among world leaders, Chester said.
Jason Chester, Director of Global Channel Programmes at InfinityQS, has warned that for manufacturers to attract the best talent, they need to adapt to their environment by making tactical investments in digital solutions
He said that as younger workers enter the manufacturing sector, it is imperative that manufacturers enhance their digital transformation initiatives if they want to attract the best talent.
To become more agile and competitive, manufacturers need to accelerate the adoption of emerging and maturing technologies such as the Internet of Things (IoT), Artificial Intelligence (AI), automation, analytics, and cloud computing. This will give rise to the evolution towards smart factories that are driven by data and intelligence, rather than merely sweat and labour, which will be key in attracting the right talent.
InfinityQ says its partner programme now includes 50 leading industry service providers.
The company said that these partners have expanded its partner network across the Americas, Europe, Asia, Indian subcontinent, and Oceania, and driven greater adoption of its Enact Quality Intelligence platform among manufacturers worldwide.
InfinityQS launched its Global Partner Programme in 2018 to satisfy demand for Enact—a cloud-native, statistical process control (SPC)-based solution that offers manufacturers real-time visibility and strategic insight to improve quality, reduce costs, and enhance performance across their organisations. To make its partner programme effective,
Green shoots of recovery are emerging within the manufacturing sector, according to InfinityQS’ 2020 Global Client Survey.
The results show a positive upturn in the industry, with nearly 74 percent of respondents reporting that they are optimistic toward the future. These manufacturers are adapting and rebounding in the wake of the pandemic, adopting new technologies and processes for managing production and controlling quality, including 75 percent who noted more of their workers are now working remotely.
The combination of supply chain disruption, shortage of materials, dependence on globalised production, and a national workforce with restricted movements, is not only affecting the industry, but the wider economy, according to InfinityQS Director of Global Channel programmes Jason Chester (pictured).
Chester said that while many have struggled to adapt within the current environment, there are those taking this opportunity to transform.
Manufacturers are collectively being forced to devise and implement new and agile approaches to product monitoring and quality control. One of their biggest logistical challenges involves ensuring their production lines are running, despite the lack of available staff due to social distancing rules. This is where digital innovations in smart manufacturing can offer many benefits.
