If uncertainty is a concerning phenomenon, the ingenuity and\ninnovations that result are far more impactful for humankind. Manufacturers are\nnavigating this difficult period, not as the status-quo, but rather with\ncreativity to support the current situation. Flexibility and agility in\nmanufacturing is not a target anymore; it is a necessity, and supporting\nsystems play a key role in enabling this flexibility.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
The alcoholic beverage industry has adapted production \u201covernight\u201d and transformed to mass produce hand sanitizers. This requires quick adoption to recipes and formulations, balancing the use of production and packaging equipment, and traceability for safe delivery of products. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
Automotive and discrete manufacturers are retooling their\nfacilities to produce much-needed medical equipment and parts. Manufacturers\ncapable of additive manufacturing (from small to large enterprises) are\nprinting medical equipment components, parts, and masks. This not only requires\nconnecting 3D design data to printers, but also optimizing scheduling of\nprinters and enabling full traceability of printed parts. Ultimately, the safe and\nquality delivery of parts is critical in downstream usage. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
Irrespective of current uncertainties and industry dynamics,\nmanufacturers and their suppliers must comply to the industry norms for audits\n& compliance. Remote supplier audits and proof of evidence is crucial to\nsafe and compliant products. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
