Foreword Today, we are entering into a wave of smarter and more intelligent, agile, and flexible manufacturing capabilities. These capabilities are installed to drive real-time advances in production and manufacturing in Gigafactories, more sustainable and configurable assembly and manufacturing lines, and other improvements. Today's sensors, integration capabilities, and compute units are powerful enough to support advancements in autonomous system designs and new scalable manufacturing architectures. Together, these technologies enable a streamlined manufacturing methodology, leading to smarter and greater-flexibility production cells, supporting higher-level market requirements and legislative demand for an improved and more sustainable production flow. In this series of talks, our experts will cover how this new era of technology expansion is driven by our world of rapid consumerism and eagerness to optimize throughput, product quality, and cost-efficiency for any given manufacturing facility. They will also address how this flexible and scalable approach will continue to advance manufacturing capabilities in the future.
