A consultative approach to automation involves a careful examination of some of the most hard-hitting and challenging projects around the manufacturing floor. Sometimes, the most obvious solutions are not the most viable, and we must look to alternative ways of cutting costs and increasing productivity.
When we are faced daily with reports of slow-paced hiring and difficulty in talent acquisition, we must sift through the actual facts, and learn from experts who have worked with many companies across hundreds of applications to detect and solve the hardest automation obstacles.
