Best of LinkedIn: Smart Manufacturing CW 25/ 26

We curate most relevant posts about Smart Manufacturing on LinkedIn and regularly share key takeaways. This edition collectively discuss the transformative impact of advanced technologies on manufacturing, particularly AI, digital twins, and the Industrial Internet of Things (IIoT). Several sources highlight how digitalisation is crucial for efficiency, quality, and sustainability, driven by real-time data and automation. While the benefits of AI in areas like quality assurance, predictive maintenance, and operational optimisation are a central theme, the texts also address challenges such as data quality, cybersecurity risks in IoT, and the need for cultural shifts within organisations. Furthermore, the evolution of PLCs and the emergence of human-centric Industry 5.0 are explored, alongside discussions on innovative applications in sectors like automotive and biomanufacturing, and the broader effort to simplify smart manufacturing initiatives.
