Specifically, jobs in manufacturing today are careers requiring college level skills as well as manual dexterity. 3-D printing (additive manufacturing) helps our engineers design parts for our machines and see how they work before producing them using precious toolmaker and operator time.
The "Internet of Things (IoT)" delivers accurate data in real time so that you can act on it to gain a desired outcome. In addition to devices that can help improve eating habits and remotely adjust oven temperatures, machine on factory floors can be connected to gain similar capabilities.
IoT data storage and software improvements help factory personnel collect and analyze enormous quantities of data. For example, maintenance can accurately predict when a part for a certain machine needs to be replaced before it fails based on an analysis of long term historical data. IoT brings together the elements of customer, raw material and machine data to schedule customer requirements and produce product according to these specifications at a level never before seen in our factories.
The implications of this new technology are enormous and the opportunities for young people entering the workforce are only now beginning to be realized.
