Technology changes the way we do things. Technological advancements affect how we communicate, do business and live. The manufacturing industry is no stranger to this. A few centuries ago, manufacturers were skilled craftsmen whose products had limited demand. therefore, if you wanted a pair of shoes, you went to the local shoemaker to have them custom-made. Modern manufacturing, understood by today’s industrial standards, appeared around 1780 when the Industrial Revolution brought its product mechanization. Manufacturers have been able to advance thanks to technology throughout history. However, the Wi-Fi network is the backbone of the progress made in the last couple of decades. All those connected pieces can now work seamlessly together because of Wi-Fi.
