| | OCTOBER 20206CIOReviewThe advancing technology has eased the lives of people in a big way. Day in and day out, one engages with technology to complete daily errands such as cooking, working, and shopping. With the increasing reliance on technology, companies adopt high-tech tools to render faster and better services to customers. In efforts to gain the upper hand in the market, companies are now exploring the untapped potential to entice more customers. Since industries are changing globally, the secondary sector has faced a series of setbacks, essentially manufacturing businesses. As exciting as these technological advancements are, they have a profound impact on the manufacturing workforce. The majority of manufacturers say they have a moderate or severe shortage of qualified applicants for skilled or highly skilled positions. In the next decade, it is expected that as many as 2 million manufacturing jobs will be unfulfilled due to this skills gap. For instance, 3-D printing is becoming cheaper, and less time and material are required to produce an intricate design. These products will not require an assembly line but a skilled engineer to design and manufacture shapes not producible in a factory. It's easy to see how manufacturing is changing from what was once a blue-collar workforce to a highly trained white-collar profession.As manufacturing technology advances, organizations must lean heavily on innovation and ingenuity. By featuring some of the world-class manufacturing tech organizations in the industry, we hope this edition of CIOReview will help you choose the right partner that adds value to your organization in the journey ahead.
