In the subsequent years, we’ve witnessed organisations continue this trend as they look to reduce global supply chain dependency and ensure any future disruptions can be better dealt with.
Operations that are physically closer to the end consumer also mean shorter physical distances for products to travel, resulting in lower costs and more streamlined and sustainable operations from reduced carbon emissions.
Manufacturers are also looking to streamline their operations with new technology deployments in 2025.
Automation is set to increase in the sector as more robots are installed globally in factory floor operations.
These solutions are the key to repeatable, quick and accurate processes, with a level of consistency that humans struggle to replicate. Adopters of robotic deployments can also avoid any potential errors made by human workers.
