Digitization in Manufacturing

Digitization in manufacturing saves time by providing electronic batch records. These records eliminate the problems that come with handwritten ones and review by exception lets you get batches out the door in a matter of minutes. Digital manufacturing also helps you enforce training and ensure compliance.

Manufacturing software removes much of the human error that comes from manual processes. Electronic batch records eliminate the problems associated with handwriting and needing to correct entries. Digitization in manufacturing gives you access to manufacturing data so you can determine where bottlenecks are and how to improve your processes.

Digitization in manufacturing lets you integrate your manufacturing execution system with other enterprise systems. This gives you greater visibility into your entire manufacturing process, including supply chain management. Data can be automatically exchanged between systems, eliminating delays and errors that come from manually reentering data.

Digitizing should never be done in a piecemeal fashion. Your best chance for efficient digitization is to plan beforehand how you’ll digitize and use every solution you purchase to its full extent. You can also choose a vendor that is continually innovating to help you grow and adapt.
