POPULAR SMART FACTORY TRAINING
Manufacturing technology is accelerating faster than the pace of people development. To keep up, manufacturers must train for the changing skill sets needed in Smart Factories for varied Smart Manufacturing job roles.
The global Smart Manufacturing market is projected to reach over $228 billion by 2027. This growth is not surprising as Smart Factories radically transform performance through measurable improvements in agility, speed, quality, throughput, costs/profitability, safety, asset reliability and energy productivity. Improving profitability, in turn, accelerates investments in innovation.
Despite this immense opportunity, organizations are challenged by high turnover rates and retirements as they try to fill openings for skilled hires.
To grow and innovate, it is important that manufacturers train and develop team members on the integration and use of technology. Many companies are working with us to create formal Smart Manufacturing training programs to upskill employees in areas touching Smart Factories such as robotics, additive manufacturing, automation, cybersecurity, virtual and augmented reality and more.
Accelerating the process, we are working with our partners CESMII—the Smart Manufacturing Institute, ARM, and CyManII to continue to develop educational resources that remain current with rapidly changing technology and focus on democratizing access to training to build Smart Manufacturing skills.
