What you'll learn on this PMM Insight podcast episode, a commentary by Editor Ron Shinn:   We are in an era of manufacturing transition, from huge numbers of lunchpail-toting workers streaming out of the factory gate at the end of their shift to an era of fewer workers making more goods.   What will it take to succeed in the new era? Embracing Industry 4.0 and smart manufacturing; following sustainable practices; using additive manufacturing; and improving human-machine collaboration.  Technology can help improve productivity, but manufacturers must invest in their workers.
