Climate change is the defining issue of our time and we are at a pivotal moment when action needs to be taken. Customers, partners and governments are increasingly requiring industrial manufacturers to minimize their environmental impact. With time running out, sustainability is no longer a nice to have. It is a matter of corporate survival.

Automation drives sustainability and is good for business
In a world of corporate metrics and financial bottom line management, how can manufacturers add sustainability to the equation?
One answer is Smart Factories fueled by automation.
Automation reduces the number of reworks and recalls that cost valuable material and energy resources. It also improves ergonomics in the workplace making for a better and safer working environment for operators.
Improved levels of tolerance and traceability not only reduces the amount of needed materials, it also strengthens the ability to quickly react to production deviations. An advantage that reduces the amount of scrap in production. In addition, traceability enables more predictive maintenance further reducing waste and avoiding unplanned production downtime.
As such, Smart Factories enable you to not only be more sustainable, but also make your production more profitable and efficient.
How can you live the dream of a sustainable future – today?
The secret to sustainable manufacturing is doing more with less. This can often be easier said than done. Thankfully, this is not a transformation you have to make on your own.
Smart Integrated Assembly is our concept for industrial manufacturers looking to transform and implement Smart Factories. We’ll help you build a comprehensive pathway for your transformation and provide the solutions that make it happen.
Together, we will build a roadmap for the Smart Factory that works best for you. We will implement fully integrated solutions that are, in turn, closely interconnected with your equipment and processes. We’ll build you a competitive edge measured in more flexible, efficient, and sustainable production.
