The COVID-19 pandemic saw manufacturers change dramatically their outputs to fit demand: gin distilleries produced hand sanitiser, automotive OEMs built ventilators and supply chains responded rapidly, sourcing parts, and enabling logistics. This rapid flexibility is possible and vital for future manufacturing operations. Versatile wireless networks are enabling manufacturers to become optimised, resilient and sustainable and unlock new value. This presentation will discuss the possibilities and outcomes of a wireless factory and case studies and steps towards transforming a manufacturing environment through advanced digital technologies.
