Bright Machines Delivers First Software-Defined Microfactory
Summary
“The manufacturing industry is looking for its next leap forward and a software-defined approach to factory automation answers this need,” said Amar Hanspal, CEO, Bright Machines. We call this approach Software-Defined Manufacturing.” Software-Defined Manufacturing leverages computer vision, machine learning and adaptive robotics and paves the way for intelligent production lines and fully-programmable factories. Software-Defined Manufacturing makes it easier to configure, replicate and scale automation, dramatically changing the economics, speed and flexibility of one of the world’s largest industries. Today, Bright Machines is delivering a critical element of this automated future with the introduction of software-defined microfactories for product assembly and inspection. The intelligent, connected microfactories also significantly improve Overall Equipment Effectiveness (OEE) including production throughput and yield, driving to a lower cost per unit.
