immediate and cheap startupping
In Smart Manufacturing, the flexibility and ease of installation, management and modification of the “production lines” (and their extreme cost-effectiveness)
allows you to create companies “from scratch” very quickly.
This makes it possible to follow the demand “on time real” (keep in mind that in the new dimension, investments are not very high, also thanks to the possibility of self-producing the equipment, and renting it).
<see Industry 4.0: the Smart manufacturing (& SmartFAB)>
In the Smart Manufacturing mode it is even possible to create temporary production workshops, taking advantage of the availability of factory sheds no longer used by traditional Industry (by renting the equipment the creation of a Smart Workshop is not much more demanding than setting up a complex event)
.
The characteristics of the new forms of production allow companies in crisis to present themselves with new types of product: keep in mind that the new production methods are based on the creation, primarily at the local level, of consortium of companies and professionals who can now operate in highly integrated way (also thanks to new logistics management software and connectivity of production equipment).
Time to market
The new production methods allow to have a high level of flexibility to the point that a Company can easly change substantially a production line to produce completely different products (even by renting parts of the equipment)
.
In this way it is possible
TO PRODUCE BY FOLLOWING THE DEMAND IN REAL TIME
(a production: it is possible to set up a production line for a specific product product only when there are orders from the Customer).
