New manufacturing imperatives are surfacing as we emerge from the Coronavirus restrictions. Research is showing an acceleration in automation, and articles highlighting production line flexibility are numerous.

Ancient Romans got it right over two thousand years ago: Mater artium necessitas, in other words “necessity is the mother of ingenuity”.
During the Coronavirus pandemic, production activity in factories has plummeted because, contrary to popular belief, the level of automation, AI and robotics is far from being able to guarantee operations without extensive human intervention.

Manufacturers are looking for great ideas these days, spurring the innovative enterprises to think harder about embedding more AI in their processes and machines.
