Smart Manufacturing Adoption to Realize Transformative Energy Reductions for North Carolina (SMARTER NC) Webinar
Learn more about “Smart Manufacturing” and the opportunities available through a federally funded grant for small and medium-sized manufacturers in North Carolina who are ready to adopt technology that will reduce energy consumption.
About the SMARTER NC Federal Grant
Goal: Provide targeted technical assistance to small-medium sized manufacturers, increasing awareness, access to, and implementation of smart manufacturing technologies with priority outreach to rural communities and underrepresented populations.
The Benefits of Smart Manufacturing
Improved efficiency
Smart factories can monitor equipment performance and automate complex processes, improving accuracy and reducing human error.
Increased productivity
Smart factories can use data to identify issues, such as when a machine is slowing down production, and then use artificial intelligence systems to resolve them.
Long-term cost savings
Smart factories can use predictive maintenance to identify potential problems early and address them at a convenient time, which can save money.
Greater flexibility
Smart factories can scale production quickly to meet changing demand and can customize products to meet specific customer needs.
