There are a bunch of different trends that are looking like they will dominate the manufacturing world in 2021. One of those is the shift from a business to business model to a business to consumer model. This shift is happening because it allows companies to make more of a profit and helps them get more data on their customers. Another trend has to do with virtual reality and augmented reality as with these technological advances, we are seeing things such as remote assistance through VR and AR enabled devices that help them troubleshoot and make repairs.
Key Takeaways:
- Employee safety is a — if not the — leading trend for manufacturers heading into 2021. Workplace safety has, of course, always been a priority for manufacturers, but it takes on new significance.
- Though the Internet of Things (IoT) is becoming a more common, widespread technology in the manufacturing industry, it remains at the top of trends lists.
- In recent years, many manufacturers have opted to transition from a traditional business-to-business (B2B) model to a business-to-consumer (B2C) model.
