Mostly, these are personal — a promise to eat better, to work out, or save money. But the clean slate of a fresh year on the calendar is also a good time to reevaluate business practices and look at how we can improve on the work floor. And as we enter a new decade, one of the areas every manufacturer needs to be considering is smart manufacturing. ![1.jpg](https://blog.innovatingautomation.asia/hs-fs/hubfs/Rich%20Text%20Pasting/unknown-1592437413069.jpg?width=441&name=unknown-1592437413069.jpg) Smart manufacturing uses real-time data and technology to help you meet the changing demands and conditions in the factory and supply chain to meet customer needs. This accurate, yet seemingly vague, definition means that the implementation of smart manufacturing into the workplace can help you meet an array of issues that negatively impact efficiency and the bottom line. ##### **Implementation of smart manufacturing can:** - Reduce manufacturing costs - Permit higher machine availability - Boost overall equipment effectiveness - Improve asset utilization - Allow for traceability of products and parts - Enhance supply chain - Ease new technology integration - Improve product quality - Reduce scrap rates - Minimize die crashes - Decrease unplanned downtime These are big claims, but all achievable with the modernization of our systems, which is long overdue for most. According to the latest polls, 4 out of 10 manufacturers have little to no visibility into the real-time status of their manufacturing processes and an even higher percentage are utilizing at least some equipment that is far past its intended lifespan. Half of manufacturers only become aware of system issues only after a breakdown occurs. This is unacceptable in 2020. Much like we expect our personal vehicles to alert us to upcoming issues — think of your service engine light or oil-life indicator —we need insight into the operation and performance of our manufacturing equipment. Of course, joining the next industrial revolution comes at a cost, but if we put a dollar value on downtime and evaluate the cost benefit of the expected outcomes, it is hard to argue with the figures. While we don’t need the start of a new year to make major changes, the flipping of the calendar page can give us the push we need to evaluate where we are and where we want to be. So, what are you waiting for? **Define your vision** – Determine what you want to accomplish. Be clear and concise in articulating what you want to accomplish. **Set an objective for 2020** – You don’t have to change everything at once. Growth can come slower. What can you accomplish in the coming year? **Identify tactics and projects** – Break down your vision into bite-size goals and projects. Prioritize realistic goals and set deadlines. **Link to KPIs** – Make sure your smart manufacturing goals tie to key performance indicators. Having measurable results demonstrates just how effective the changes are and how they are improving business overall. **Assign responsibility** – Designate owners to each step of the process. Make it someone’s responsibility to implement, track and report on the efforts. If it is everyone’s job, then it is no one’s job. - [Tweet](https://twitter.com/share) TAGS [PredictiveMaintenance](https://blog.innovatingautomation.asia/tag/PredictiveMaintenance) [ConditionMonitoring](https://blog.innovatingautomation.asia/tag/ConditionMonitoring) [RFID](https://blog.innovatingautomation.asia/tag/rfid) [MachineVision](https://blog.innovatingautomation.asia/tag/machinevision) [SmartCamera](https://blog.innovatingautomation.asia/tag/smartcamera) [IO\_Link](https://blog.innovatingautomation.asia/tag/io_link) [intralogistics](https://blog.innovatingautomation.asia/tag/intralogistics) [Automobile](https://blog.innovatingautomation.asia/tag/automobile) [IIoT](https://blog.innovatingautomation.asia/tag/iiot) [high temperature](https://blog.innovatingautomation.asia/tag/hightemperature) [industry\_4.0](https://blog.innovatingautomation.asia/tag/industry_4.0?hsLang=en) ### Subscribe for more [![New Call-to-action](https://no-cache.hubspot.com/cta/default/7010809/43c13478-58e0-42a3-af82-b5e6159d8af8.png)](https://cta-redirect.hubspot.com/cta/redirect/7010809/43c13478-58e0-42a3-af82-b5e6159d8af8) Document © Balluff Automation - [![](https://app01.balluff.com/image-fit/30-30/fileadmin/user_upload/germany/icons/fb-icon.png)](http://www.facebook.com/Balluffworldwide) - [![](https://app01.balluff.com/image-fit/30-30/fileadmin/user_upload/germany/icons/linkedin-icon.png)](http://www.linkedin.com/company/5340578?trk=prof-exp-company-name) - [![](https://app01.balluff.com/image-fit/30-30/fileadmin/user_upload/germany/icons/tweet-icon.png)](http://twitter.com/balluff?lang=de) - [![](https://app01.balluff.com/image-fit/30-30/fileadmin/user_upload/germany/icons/youtube-icon.png)](http://www.youtube.com/user/BalluffSensors) [General Terms and Conditions](https://www.balluff.com.cn/en/cn/documents/general-sales-terms-and-conditions/) [Contact](https://www.balluff.com.cn/en/cn/contacts/contact/) [Imprint](https://www.balluff.com.cn/en/cn/documents/imprint/) [Privacy Statement](https://www.balluff.com.cn/en/cn/documents/privacy-statement/)
