Key information:
These and many other factors mean that the manufacturing sector must adapt to the new reality. This change, unfortunately, will not take place in a systematic and predictable manner, but rather in an abrupt manner, due to the need to react instantly to changes in the competitive market. In this article, we will suggest what representatives of the manufacturing sector should expect over the next months and years and how to adapt to the changing reality.

What will the manufacturing of tomorrow look like-some trends that seem irreversible
- The impact of artificial intelligence on certain areas of manufacturing organizations: surveys conducted in the U.S. among representatives of the manufacturing sector show that more than 80% of them believe AI can be used in the circular process. Among the areas most susceptible to the potential impact of artificial intelligence is maintenance (especially software for preventive inspections of machinery and equipment).
- Unavailability and the systematic “ aging” of the workforce: the fact that the population is aging is not just a European problem, but it is on the old continent that its effects are felt most strongly. Manufacturing companies must step up their efforts to attract young talent, but also invest in autonomous solutions that make production independent of labor shortages.

Digitization of production - a necessity, not an add-on
- A change among consumers – the desire to individualize production: the consumer today is not content with just a standard product, but expects to be able to personalize and adapt it to individual requirements. Manufacturers wishing to follow this trend must adapt their infrastructure to the changed reality.
- Digitization of production – a necessity, not an add-on: recent years have brought rapid changes in the digitization of business processes. This has to do with a reduction in the price of individual system components used to computerize production processes.
The manufacturing sector must adapt to the new reality. This change, unfortunately, will not take place in a systematic and predictable manner, but rather in an abrupt manner, due to the need to respond rapidly to changes in the competitive market.

How to adapt to changing conditions?
Such major changes, for which there is not much time to carry out, require an urgent response. How do you adapt your organization to the inevitable? In our offer you will find many products and solutions that will make your production better prepared for the coming revolution. Here is a selection of them:
Digital Twin’s Digit.IO is a complete IT platform for digitizing all areas of modern production management. In the planning sphere, it enables advanced production planning, along with a multi-criteria analysis module that automates task assignment, scheduling, or dynamic changes depending on the production flow.
In the statistical realm, the solution Digit.IO provides the ability to perform advanced statistical calculations with elements of machine learning, the result of which can be suggestions to remodel the production process in a way that will increase its efficiency.

Automation and robotization of production
- Solutions that automate the collection of production data: digital manufacturing is also knowledge at your fingertips about what is currently being produced, the process flow, components, packaging availability or the correct quality of the product. This knowledge can be drawn from vision reading elements, but also from elements for reading barcodes, 2D codes, or RFID tags.
- Robotization of production: moving components or finished product through the production process, just-in-time delivery of components, automation of labeling, robotic manipulators doing some of the work. These elements speed up the production process, making it independent of the human factor.
