Consider an industry like agriculture. Over the years, they've made several big leaps, mostly focused on improving the yield you can get out of the same square foot of land.

 

Manufacturing has made some leaps like that to improve yield on the line. But really, not much has changed in the past 20-30 years. Until now. 

 

Amar Hanspal and his team over at Bright Machines are reimagining manufacturing. They're focused on writing software to enable what they call intelligent factories. The goal is to increase yield on the line, without really increasing cost. Amar came on this episode of the Industrial + Manufacturing podcast to talk about their approach, it's benefits, and the risks of not moving forward.
