How Product Innovation is Demanding More from Traditional Manufacturing

As hardware developers compete to bring advanced technologies like augmented reality and autonomous mobility to market, development speeds are increasing — yet too often, manufacturing is a source of limiting friction.

在一个特殊的网络研讨会,杰伊·罗杰斯和麦克盖尔discuss the themes uncovered in Fictiv’s 2018 State of Hardware Report (to be released on June 5th), including:

How development of next-generation technology like autonomous mobility is demanding more from manufacturing industry standards
Points of friction in the communication process between developers and manufacturers and strategies for improvement
Opportunities for nearshoring to optimize production cycles for speed and agility
The challenges of managing increasingly complex supply chains as manufacturing becomes more globally distributed
