On Earth Day and every day, digitization proves to be a powerful tool to help assembly manufacturers meet their sustainability goals. Often faced with complex and manual processes, assembly manufacturers can greatly benefit from digitizing their work procedures and enabling operational excellence.
As an OT team, are you helping to meet strategic corporate sustainability goals?
Here’s how digitization can drive sustainability in assembly manufacturing:
Reduce Waste for Improved Sustainability
By guiding operators with digitized procedures, assembly manufacturers can significantly reduce production errors and material waste. This leads to less scrap and more efficient use of materials, contributing to a more sustainable operation.
Furthermore, higher quality output means less scrap and waste. A prime example is the automotive Tier 1 company, Woodbridge, which partnered with Matrix Automation to digitally transform their complex assembly processes. This collaboration allowed Woodbridge to scale operations without compromising quality, preventing costly scrap and waste. Explore how Woodbridge improved operations.
Decrease Energy and Other WAGES Resources
Digitized operations enable companies to increase efficiency and throughput – helping manufacturers achieve more with less, enhancing their capacity with existing plant infrastructure and resources.
Greater efficiency and capacity, as well as less errors and rework mean manufacturers use less energy and other WAGES (water, air, gas, electric, steam) resources.
Digitization helps streamline operations, reducing the overall consumption of these vital resources.
Eliminate Paper Consumption and Waste
Paperless operations can eliminate the need for printed documents, thereby reducing paper consumption and waste. This improvement in sustainability is two-fold: reducing the need for paper production and minimizing paper waste.
All of these smart manufacturing advancements align with corporate sustainability requirements. Manufacturing teams can leverage digital transformations to support corporate strategies and contribute meaningfully toward sustainability goals.
Digitizing work processes is not just a technological upgrade; it’s a strategic move toward a more sustainable future in assembly manufacturing.
