Free webinar to highlight the power of digitilisation for contract manufacturing Nulogy, the leading provider of agile supply chain software, hosted a free industry webinar to demonstrate how digitalisation can make businesses more resilient in the face of uncertainty. In the live webinar an end-to-end digital factory was demonstrated to show how contract manufacturers can gain improved visibility and insight into their shop floor operations. The process showed how digitalisation is particularly beneficial during the current COVID-19 pandemic, aiding in infection and outbreak control measures and better-handling supply chain peaks and troughs. Ways to track and manage production processes and generate real-time dashboards to view production performance and line availability, were highlighted as well as opportunities to bolster throughput and reduce costs. “The contract manufacturing industry is facing unprecedented challenges and uncertainties with the advent of COVID-19,” said Josephine. “With increased variability in order profiles, and operational constraints in a post-COVID era, more than ever these businesses need agility to manage their operations, while meeting brand customers’ performance and quality standards. “Our webinar illustrated how digitalisation and a cloud-based platform can help manage increased variability and drive growth more effectively than rigid legacy ERP systems or spreadsheets.” 36 FDPP - www.fdpp.co.uk www.see.nulogy.com/achieving- agility-in-manufacturing-webinar-uk- eu/
