Why flexibility in manufacturing matters
New product introductions have triggered the development of more flexible handheld tools that are electric, wireless and easy to configure and use. However, the increased complexity on the production line opens the door for human errors. It is more important than ever to avoid production errors and subsequently rework costs.
