It can be said that production lines around the world are in an Age of Enlightenment. Not the type that occurred in the 17th and 18th centuries, but the one that began at the start of the 21st century ushering in the use of a broad range of smart devices.
The functions of many of these devices have been working in concert to create another very important period in history—Manufacturing 4.0—an era when smart and connected devices reign to improve and transform the way companies conduct business.
Super smart devices are doing a super job
By incorporating smart devices equipped with scanners, sensors, vision systems and various other types of intelligent tools to their production lines, manufacturers are automating and streamlining processes, detecting anomalies and reducing errors, all of which are allowing them to maximize operational efficiency.
More IQ means more product improvement
In addition to improving production performance, connecting smart devices to where products are produced also goes a long way in improving the quality of those products. This is because many of the smart devices working on asembly lines are designed to quickly and accurately monitor production, which enables manufacturers to detect defects and respond to them quickly, giving them more control over production, thus ensuring products meet and even exceed the quality standards they set for themselves.
The competition needs to be graded on a bell curve
The SmartDispenser® is in a class all its own because it has been and continues to be way ahead of the curve. When introduced by Fishman® Corporation in 2001, first as the LDS9000, and nine years later as the second generation SmartDispenser,® it was the first and only smart fluid dispense system available. After nearly a quarter century, it still is. There are many things that separate the SmartDispenser® from all the rest, including the fact that it knows and can do things that help it live up to its name, while all other fluid dispense systems continue to operate in the dark.
A white paper that casts light on this important subject
Fishman® Corporation recently published an informative white paper titled The World We Live and Work in Keeps Getting Smarter. It outlines many of the things that only the SmartDispenser® can do. Once you read it, light bulb after light bulb will go on as you discover the many the ways in which the SmartDispenser® can help you add intelligence at the point of dispense.
