FacFox — Revolutionizing the Process of Manufacturing
by Martin Gray Content Writer
Technology is playing a significant role
in revolutionizing the way we produce goods. In the last 40 years, the
manufacturing industry has experienced many new integrations that have allowed
for better methods of rapidly growing consumer products. From cars to hearing
aids, some form of technology has been integrated to make the manufacturing
process better, more streamlined, and more efficient.
In today’s world, robots are becoming
much more sophisticated, able to tasks completion in a small fraction of the
time it would. For example, the number of industrial robots is continuing to
rise. Japan leads this charge by having introduced nearly 300,000 robots into
industrial production. From 2010 to 2016, Japan saw a 20% increase in output
thanks to robotic technology being used in their factories.
3D printing is also playing a vital role
in efficiently manufacturing products. Thanks to 3D printing technology,
turnaround time on production is nearly cut in half. Some companies now have
same-day production and shipping. This is rapidly changing the design cycle
dynamic. A product that would typically take a month to go through the design
modification phase now takes only a week.
There are many companies providing
services in this domain, but the company we have chosen for our readers as the
reference for this article is FacFox. FacFox is the leading on-demand
manufacturing marketplace that lets buyers realize their creations by
leveraging the most innovative manufacturing technologies like 3D printing.
FacFox offers comprehensive material
options and recommends the best all-in-one solution from design to reality.
With our instant quotation system and professional manual inspection system,
FacFox makes the full manufacturing service transparent, innovative, and easy,
which saves the buyer’s efforts of choosing materials, technologies, and
vendors and eliminates the fragmented process and the pain in product
development.
Empower the designers to realize their
creation by making the custom manufacturing process easier, faster, and cheaper
while benefiting small & medium sizes factories by integrating their
capacities into FacFox’s intelligent elastic digital manufacturing network.
With this considerable promise and
cutting-edge technology Industry, 4.0 demands a substantial upfront investment.
According to a survey in 2017 of 1,000 medium and small Canadian manufacturing
companies, for instance, those who adopted digital technology have invested an
average of $250,000. For larger enterprises, the price will likely be more
significant. However, the anticipated return of connected, intelligent devices
and the automated process of production will yield a significant ROI.
“These software systems do more than trade
data,” explained Srivats Ramaswami, the CTO of 42Q. “They eliminate much of the
human intervention that goes with managing them. This next generation of
automation – utilizing big data, analytics, and artificial intelligence – is
one of the most important drivers behind digital manufacturing and Industry
4.0.”
Industry 4.0, also known as
manufacturing 4.0, is the fusion of manufacturing operations and IT and the
digital development of technology in manufacturing. Mark Holleran, formerly the
CEO of Xplore Technologies, says it signifies a “holistic shift from
centralized to decentralized manufacturing” that requires the re-engineering of
processes, people, business structure, and technology.
