But contrary to past fears of automation and robots replacing people, the factory of the future is actually empowering people...” Microsoft's eBook Factory of the Future
Modern manufacturing software includes functionality for design, production, maintenance, distribution, customer service, warranty, and repair. As manufacturing ERP consultants, we encounter manufacturing companies that are struggling with outdated or manual systems and processes.
