Over the past century, global manufacturing systems have evolved from manual, linear processes to high-powered, efficient automated systems through landmark advances to automation technology and production methods. Your commitment to blend information technology into your traditional operations business practices is crucial to keep pace with your competition and continue to find paths to improvement.
 
While technology plays a key role in this evolution, have you considered the value of a properly developed workforce? Because of the changes in technology, a maintenance staff that understands the interplay between the operational and IT technology is key to the ongoing health of your operation.
