This is undoubtedly an exciting time to be in the fields of manufacturing and technology. The Deloitte study, Exponential technologies in manufacturing, showcases the many ways that the manufacturing industry is changing and the digital and physical worlds are meeting. Complex hardware combined with innovative software and data is producing products that are smarter and processes that are more efficient all while being able to connect customers, suppliers and manufacturers on a closer level.
These changes are going to affect us all and we’re excited to be on the forefront. In an effort to partner with those close to home, we’ve become an associate member of the Michigan Manufacturers Association. The MMA is Michigan’s largest manufacturing trade association – they help develop connections, support industries, and make a positive impact on our state’s economy. We look forward to contributing to this industry in the years to come.
