SUSTAINABILITY
“ For years , factories have been relying on outdated and inefficient manual labour to produce goods , which has led to higher costs , slower production , and a decrease in quality and output .
“ Factory automation has the potential to drastically reduce these inefficiencies , resulting in improved production , lower costs , and better quality goods . Automation also allows factories to focus on core processes , such as design and product development , while the automation system handles the tedious and time-consuming tasks associated with production .”
Ultimately , Crespo believes that factory automation is the future of manufacturing and he ’ s excited to be a part of it . “ With the right tools , training , and support , I am confident that our clients will be able to see the benefits of automation for their businesses ,” he says .
In 2023 , Crespo expects the global supply chain to become increasingly digitised and automated , with advanced technologies such as blockchain and predictive analytics being more widely utilised .
“ I ’ m expecting to see an increase in the use of 3D printing and other new technologies . These could allow companies to quickly and easily produce customised products with minimal materials and waste ,” he says . “ I also expect to see a greater emphasis on sustainability , with more companies understanding the importance of creating a more sustainable supply chain , with a greater emphasis on digital logistics and more sophisticated tracking systems that allow companies to better monitor their supply chains .”
Crespo hopes to see the global supply chain become more interconnected , with more companies collaborating and sharing
“More companies need to understand the importance of creating a more sustainable supply chain ”
