The role of technology in driving developments in manufacturing
Organisations that fall under the manufacturing umbrella have become increasingly eager to implement new technologies to increase their overall operational efficiency. The world of manufacturing is evolving and with the introduction of COVID-19, the importance of artificial intelligence, 5G and cloud technology have become increasingly identified as the future.

Why you need this whitepaper
In this whitepaper, we focus on the 4IR areas of artificial intelligence (AI), 5G and cloud technology and outline both the opportunities and obstacles that are associated with them.
Machine maintenance
The combination of sensors and machine data with AI provide for a clearer vision into a factory’s production line.
Surveillance
Implement solutions to identify common security scenarios using advanged AI, building management systems and cameras.
Supply chain integration
Integrate 5G networking to allow factory tools to enable fast, automatic replenishment of parts and supplies which will minimise delays and boost efficiency.
Human-machine engagement
Enable staff to work with enhanced technology to complete their day-to-day tasks such as having insight into mobile data and visualisation solutions from using tablets and augmented reality equipment.
