Scaling automation in contract manufacturing: Interview with Rodrigo DallOglio of Flex
As manufacturers face increasing pressure to improve productivity, quality, and resilience while managing growing product complexity, automation is becoming a central part of modern factory operations. Technologies such as collaborative robots, autonomous mobile robots (AMRs), and emerging forms of physical AI are moving beyond pilot projects and into large-scale production environments. One company at the […]
Manufacturers are under increasing pressure to boost productivity and manage complexity, creating prime conditions for the mainstream adoption of automation technologies.
The shift from pilot projects to large-scale deployment of robotics and AI in manufacturing indicates a significant modernization of industrial processes and supply chains.
Automation, including cobots and AMRs, is becoming a standard operational component in contract manufacturing, moving beyond experimental phases to robust implementation.
