Digital transformation is revolutionizing manufacturing companies, and this trend is all set to continue. The evolution of technologies like the Internet of Things, Artificial Intelligence, Robotic Process Automation, Mobile Applications, Cloud, etc. are transforming the way manufacturing shop floors work. And companies leveraging these technologies thrive and others just falter. Manufacturers have many challenges to negotiate. To name a few are Manual or partially automated processes Inventory management Lack of visibility on the shop floor operations Lack of technology, tools and resources Expensive machine maintenance Manual asset tracking and management All the above challenges hamper the production rate, and manufacturers are left with no choice but to invest in digital transformation solutions to accelerate their shop floor operations. Many companies have switched to no code analytics as it is simple and efficient. With a no-code analytics platform, manufacturers can amplify their production while reducing machine maintenance costs. Above all, they can harness real-time data and analyze the trends to prevent machine failures and plan for improvements well in advance. By 2024, low-code application development will be responsible for more than 65% of application development activity.

Generally, employees’ churn rate is high for those companies where employees don’t have enough opportunities to grow, fear cultural change, or lack safety standards in the environment. In the case of the Manufacturing industry, fear of cultural change and safety challenges top the list. Also, if the employees can’t perform to their potential, this can impact their morale and make them decide against the company. So, retaining the employees is a must, and manufacturers must rethink their strategy and planning to engage and reduce employee attrition rates. Of the different techniques to achieve this, modernizing the shop floor is considered a killer option to engage and improve employee performance. Here, in this post, I will detail how modernizing your shop floor operations will improve employee morale, efficiency, and engagement to take your manufacturing business to the next level. Before getting started, it is a must to understand how a shop floor operates and what challenges employees face.

Business Intelligence is revolutionizing businesses across the globe today. Several companies are looking to leverage business intelligence for informed decision-making. Data today comes from a plethora of disparate sources such as forms, marketing campaigns, sales, and demographics.
