Small and Medium Manufacturing Study: Robotics and Technology ENGAGEMENT
Advanced technologies, such as robotics and automation, are effective means to improve efficiencies and alleviate pain points experienced in manufacturing operations, but is manufacturing automation as widely utilized as it could or should be? And if not, how can the Manufacturing Extension Partnership (MEP)2 and other manufacturing support organizations more effectively accelerate technology exploration and adoption efforts? This is especially critical for the SMM1 segment, which makes up 99%3 of manufacturing organizations across the nation.
Catalyst Connection launched the Small and Medium Manufacturing Study: Robotics and Technology Engagement with the goal of guiding future initiatives to accelerate technology adoption.
