With prices rising across the board and historically high inflation rates, how can manufacturers battle inflation?

In this episode, we're talking about ways manufacturers can shorten their ROI by getting more bang for their buck.

Before we delve into the topic, Brandon quizzes Beth on Fieldbus Protocols discussed in the previous episode and why it's important to know the differences. Do you know the answers?

A big way manufacturers can battle inflation is by automating processes.

Let's say you want to automate with a robot - industrial or collaborative, but you can't justify the cost on one process. Smartshift Robotics has your back!
