Tech in Manufacturing Overview
Regardless of their product, manufacturers everywhere are involved in some type of digital transformation. Increasing focus on software and automation on the production line is fundamentally changing how manufacturing companies think about their core workflows. As a result, there’s a steady demand for tech talent who can provide the skills and experience necessary to help manufacturing companies evolve.
Because manufacturing is a necessarily broad industry, it demands a wide array of technical skills and experience. Some companies are only just beginning to engage in data science, while others have fully embraced cutting-edge technology, especially complex automation and AI.
