CHICAGO—In the post-coronavirus world, manufacturers will need to address social distancing on their assembly lines. One solution may be to deploy proximity sensors.
Building complex assemblies is now a standard practice for electronic manufacturing services (EMS) companies. This reality applies to firms that do work locally, nationally or internationally.
Nobody's perfect. Even the best trained, most experienced assemblers can make mistakes on the line, especially in high-mix production environments. Fortunately, a variety of software products are available to help prevent assembly errors.
