What you'll learn on this PMM Insight podcast episode, a commentary by Editor Ron Shinn:
- We are in an era of manufacturing transition, from huge numbers of lunchpail-toting workers streaming out of the factory gate at the end of their shift to an era of fewer workers making more goods.
- What will it take to succeed in the new era? Embracing Industry 4.0 and smart manufacturing; following sustainable practices; using additive manufacturing; and improving human-machine collaboration.
- Technology can help improve productivity, but manufacturers must invest in their workers.
