6 OCTOBER, 2021Even before the COVID-19 pandemic, the precision machining domain has been undergoing a seismic shift. New machining processes were growingly being introduced in the sector, rendering many traditional precision machining methods obsolete. The COVID crisis has only accelerated this trend. An increasing demand for automation and waste reduction, accompanied by the renewed sense of market urgency in the wake of the crisis, is significantly transforming the state of machining as we know it.On that front, leading-edge technologies, including artificial intelligence (AI), cloud computing, and the internet of things (IoT), will play an increasingly prominent role, especially in large-scale industrial settings. As machines and machining tools will become automated to a greater degree in the coming years, AI will become pivotal in their real-time management. AI will be leveraged extensively in other areas as well, from monitoring to diagnostics to maintenance. Similarly, Manufacturing-as-a-service (MaaS) platforms that have already made their way into the industry will gain broader acceptance going forward. MaaS platforms will, thereby, offer enhanced agility, productivity, and cost savings across the sector. IoT is another technology that will be substantial in enabling the smart factories and warehouses of tomorrow. The technology will be critical in making machining and manufacturing processes quicker, safer, and better.In this edition of Manufacturing Outlook, we bring you the story of some of the most promising precision machining companies that deliver the best outcomes for their clients. This edition also offers a combination of thought leadership articles from subject matter experts and exclusive insights from CIOs and CXOs.
