New whitepaper: Trends in manufacturing software usage
How are manufacturers adapting to the challenges of automation, integration, and AI? Written in collaboration with EY, Sandvik's whitepaper, "Trends in Manufacturing Software Usage" provides a detailed look at how software solutions are shaping the future of component manufacturing.
From overcoming skilled labor shortages to meeting increasing demands for product complexity, this whitepaper offers valuable insights into the tools and strategies driving progress.
Topics covered include:
- Automation and integration: Understand the importance of digital threads and key software integrations, such as CAD-to-CAM and CAM-to-simulation, for optimizing workflows.
- Software selection criteria: Discover why manufacturers prioritize quality, service/support, and ease of use over brand reputation and pricing. What guides decisions on bundled or separate software solutions?
- AI in manufacturing: Learn how AI is being used for CAD feature recognition, CAM programming guidance, and quality deviation detection to improve efficiency and reduce costs.
- Hosting preferences: Explore the balance between on-premise solutions, hybrid models, and cloud adoption, particularly in regulated industries like defense.
- Software update preferences: Do companies prefer a faster or slower frequency of software updates?
Ease of use is most important, as even the best piece of technology is worthless if I am not able to use it.
This report is ideal for anyone looking to understand the evolving role of software in manufacturing and the opportunities it presents for automation, integration, and AI adoption.
