The manufacturing industry is becoming increasingly reliant on smart technology as a way to enhance its workflow, production and logistics. In fact, just last year, the UK government announced a £50 million data innovation hub to enable manufacturing businesses to benefit from advancing digital technology. Smart technology allows manufacturers across a range of industries to efficiently utilise data, become more sustainable and increase productivity through a variety of digital systems.

In recent years, the digital landscape has changed the way many businesses and industries work. The government's UK digital strategy lays out the framework for continuing to build on the harnessing of successful digital technology across all sectors. Manufacturing is one industry that is already benefitting from a range of artificial intelligence systems to boost workflow and production. We'll take a look at some specific examples across the industry and the advantages of adopting these new ways of working.

Every manufacturer aims to improve their cost-effectiveness, efficiency, and production cycle. Computer-aided software allows manufacturing companies to improve standardized processes, accuracy, and productivity. As a business owner, learning how to use computer-aided manufacturing software and also its effectiveness can help you take the right measures by adopting technologies that would suit your business.
