new The creation of a digital thread connects processes, systems, products and equipment in a single source of truth. Automatic adjustments can be made to meet location-specific regulatory and operational requirements. For example, organizations may deploy AI and ML to proactively monitor data parameters to ensure constant compliance or add collaborative robots and modular equipment that can be repurposed for different uses. Sharing data securely, accurately and instantaneously frees up teams to focus more of their energy on refining and optimizing manufacturing processes, rather than simply ensuring that those processes work. Maximizing the utilization of existing systems and capacity optimizes time to value, removing the need to create new manufacturing systems, new platforms, or build new facilities., 4h ago
