Discrete Manufacturing: Industry Innovations

Optimising agility and innovation in discrete manufacturing

When a product moves from one process to another in an unstructured way, production becomes a complex process. With increasing demand for custom products, smaller lot sizes, extremely short lifecycles and new technologies built into products, and you’ve only named a handful of the challenges that discrete industry businesses are faced with today.

One word sums up the #1 characteristic needed to survive and thrive in discrete manufacturing: flexibility. Times are changing, technology is evolving at ever-faster rates, and those businesses unable to embrace creative new ways of using data, supporting innovation, streamlining processes and integrating their equipment with their ERP systems risk losing their competitive edge – and their profitability.

While automation and digitisation are tough to tackle in every sector, discrete manufacturing comes with highly specific challenges that must be addressed with industry-tailored IT solutions by an experienced partner

businesses should be able to design products that are both produced flexibly, but that have many options themselves, even in the face of ever shorter product lifecycles.
to produce customized products flexibly and rapidly while keeping minimal stock at hand, companies must find new ways to be creative with the tools at their disposal.
every step of the production process must be transparent through machine integration with multiple systems.
