Advanced Manufacturing

Industry 4.0 or “smart factories” and Advanced Manufacturing are all basically the same idea. This is where we find data, automation, machines, robots and humans working together to produce desired products. Manufacturing combines mechanical, electronic and information technology to streamline the manufacturing process through intelligent automation. Advanced manufacturing facilities use advanced software and robotics technology to make their processes as efficient as possible.
