What is your vision of tomorrow’s manufacturing?
Ideally, machines would never break, never need new parts, or if that if is not possible they could fix themselves. With planned obsolescence from OEM, utilization of sensitive, light, non durable components, electronic systems, with natural disasters or just seasonal weather stresses, excessive highs and lows temperatures, contaminants from smog or fires in the filtration systems, won’t we always need maintenance technicians on staff or at least a team of contractors or suppliers to help stay operational?
