The pace of change in global manufacturing is faster now than any time in history. With increasing customer expectation and stiffer competition, the past era of production emphasizing on heavy capitalization and economies of scale is over. Automation, innovative manufacturing technologies such as robots, vision and sensing systems, software technology, and good product design are now the hot topics of all industries. "New era manufacturing" will be about how to produce effectively with the least resources, and to manufacture unique products that can bring sustainable business.
