Manufacturers need to be flexible, agile and adaptable
Another day, another announcement from the White House on tariffs. We're living now in a world where anything can happen, and probably will. Nobody wins in a trade war, so a key question becomes how best to weather it, particularly when there is so much uncertainty over which way Trump will lean from one day to the next. And surely, for manufacturers, that comes down to how flexible, agile, adaptable and efficient they can become. The ones who come out the other end of this trade disruption the strongest, then, will surely be those who have made timely investments in technologies such as automation, AI and robotics.
With best regards
