MES & WMS help overcome the challenges in the assembly industry
The assembly industry is facing many challenges, and the pressure on manufacturing companies is increasing. Small batches and decreasing order quantities are becoming more common. Customers are demanding more options, which increases product variability, while product complexity continues to rise. Additionally, shorter delivery times are becoming the norm, and both quality requirements and the degree of traceability are growing. Finally, companies are now expected to achieve more with the same staff to boost efficiency.
