Manufacturing Challenges | Matics

Manufacturing Challenges

Today, manufacturers struggle with complex issues in the production environment. They contend with a skilled labor shortage and knowledge loss due to an aging workforce as well as high industry competition, and a lack of accurate shop floor data. The lack of visibility makes it difficult to react in real time to constantly changing bottlenecks. Post mortem analysis at the end of a shift is no longer enough. In addition, factory managers must also deal with rising quality demands, an inability to quickly respond to volatile market conditions, and more.
