signs are growing, but bring manu- facturing challenges that can be ad- dressed with Critical’s MES solution.
Semiconductor Manufacturing. Customers are increasingly using semiconductor devices to transform their products, production methods and business models. Those who make these products must keep pace. Driven by the IoT, 5G wireless, arti- ficial intelligence (AI), auto electron- ics, and augmented reality (AR), both opportunities and pressures on semi- conductor makers are growing.
Medical Device Manufacturing. Medical device and diagnostics man- ufacturers must continue to intro- duce new products using specialized product technology, while complying with ever-shifting worldwide regula- tions. Pricing and margin from reim- bursement and purchasing practices are driving companies to seek new ways to become more efficient, speed innovation and decrease costs. With the European Union’s Med-
ical Device Regulations (MDR) tak- ing effect, and the FDA’s cybersecuri- ty and shift from QSR to ISO 13485 and ISO regulations, companies must do all of this within stricter guidelines. As discrete products are trans-
formed into intelligent products and services, companies must ensure their manufacturing operations are equally up to date. Most companies’ history with a traditional MES does not help them envision a way to build the plant digital twin and move into smart manufacturing. Critical Man- ufacturing specializes in delivering a comprehensive, modular Industry 4.0-ready MES solution, built from the ground up, to accelerate digital transformation across complex dis-
Microlease Eases Access to 5G Test
West Hills, CA — Microlease, now part of Electro Rent Corporation, is making significant investments in test equipment for the emerging 5G mobile communications standard.
