Additive manufacturing allows the creation of lighter, more complex designs that are too difficult or too expensive to build using traditional dies, molds, milling and machining
Digital manufacturing is a fully integrated approach that manufacturers can leverage for planning, scheduling, quality management, cost control, material movement and shop floor operations. It means manufacturers are able to turn to digital technologies to make their shop floor more efficient
With big data analytics in manufacturing, manufacturers can discover new information and identify patterns that enable them to improve processes, increase supply chain efficiency and identify variables that affect production
