The manufacturing industry is evolving rapidly thanks to digital transformation. For those businesses struggling to adapt to changes and remain relevant, the future holds outdated processes, reduced revenue, obsolete equipment, and unproductive employees.

What is Digital Manufacturing?

Digital transformation is the process of using digital technologies to create new or modify existing business processes, cultures, and customer experiences to meet changing business and market requirements in the manufacturing industry. 

How Does Digital Transformation Impact Your Company?


When a company adapts, they will see improvements in safety, quality, throughput, efficiency, revenue, and sustainability – all while reducing costs to remain competitive in the marketplace.


A few benefits include: 
  •  When you provide digital solutions that improve your safety, fewer workplace injuries and accidents occur 
  • When you improve your output quality, you are reducing rework of products, reducing warranty work, and increasing customer satisfaction. 
  •  When you improve your process efficiency positively impacts employee productivity and your bottom line. A strong bottom line allows you to continue to innovate and drive sustainability in your market while increasing value for your company, shareholders, and customers.

2 Ways Panel Built uses Manufacturing Digitization

Big data and analytics 

Big data plays a major part in measuring performance and improving efficiency. This allows the ability to identify trends in the business and take action on them such as making informed decisions on product development with our cleanroom systems.

Cloud Based ERP 

Cloud-based enterprise resource planning (ERP) systems and other manufacturing software are applications that provide tools for managing business operations. A cloud-based ERP system can store your company’s data in the cloud, allowing you to access it anywhere. Implementing a new ERP makes it easier for employees to collaborate on projects or access information when they’re not at their desks. You can also use cloud-based ERP software to manage your inventory, production, customer relationships, and more. 

With this system we are able to track everything from customers to inventory of our modular offices and security booths.
