A big part of smart manufacturing is the ability to create flexible and reliable production lines. To achieve this, companies are beginning to work on modularization. This allows the line configuration to be rearranged according to the immediate need. Manufacturers are working on automation to replace common tasks, such as transporting products, assembly lines, and work performed in difficult-to-access areas. Modular automation lets companies adjust quickly to production changes while using the same equipment for multiple products.
