Empower employees on the factory floor
New research from Visual Components reveals that labour shortages have led to revenue losses for four-in-ten UK manufacturers, as well as delaying new projects. With talent at a premium, one solution says Visual Components CEO Mikko Urho is to look at upskilling existing staff. With 'low code' and 'no code' technologies making control technologies ever easier to program, alongside the availability of simulation software, there are more opportunities that ever to empower people on the factory floor.
With best regards
