6 October, 2021Contract manufacturing services have swiftly become indispensable for original equipment manufacturers (OEM). Especially in the wake of the COVID-19 pandemic and the subsequent production hassles, contract manufacturing services put forth an ideal way for OEMs to pivot the focus on their core competencies and outsource their manufacturing tasks. By leveraging contract manufacturing services, OEMs can free up resources that would otherwise be allocated to expand the workforce, increase facility space, or add equipment, and instead focus on research, strategy, and marketing.Notably, this synergy is only going to improve in the coming years. The ongoing digitization, which has hastened the pace of Industry 4.0 in the manufacturing sector, will take up the mantle to enhance the collaboration between manufacturers and contract manufacturing services companies in quality management, cost reduction, and visibility and control. Meantime, leaning on leading-edge technologies, such as artificial intelligence (AI), the internet of things (IoT), and 3D printing, contract manufacturing services companies will elevate the production capabilities of OEMs to the next level and open the doors for Industry 5.0, which is on the immediate horizon.In this edition of Manufacturing Outlook, we present to you Surface Art Engineering, an electronics manufacturing services company that offers a full range of printed circuit board assembly (PCA) and mechanical assembly for prototype, pre-production, and production assemblies in a broad range of industries.
