High-Tech-Manufacturing

Complex products require complex manufacturing processes, and that’s the essence of high-tech manufacturing. It’s an environment that demands precision, speed and efficiency.

A high-tech factory challenges the maintenance function. Machinery and controls are highly sophisticated and often tightly integrated. Contamination must be excluded, and documentation and record-keeping are often mandatory. Downtime must be minimized, and when maintenance work is undertaken, care and precision are essential.

This blog answers the question, “What is high-tech manufacturing?” It provides examples; explores some of the biggest challenges; and discusses relevant maintenance-related strategies, tools and technologies.
