Even the best operators make mistakes—it’s human nature. That’s why poka yoke (error-proofing) is essential in manufacturing. By designing workstations with only the necessary tools and materials, we eliminate guesswork, reduce errors, and create a seamless workflow. With kits prepared for each task and ergonomic setups, operators can focus on execution rather than decision-making, leading to higher accuracy, improved productivity, and better quality outcomes.

Is your manufacturing strategy built for resilience—or just reacting to disruptions? Traditional offshoring no longer guarantees efficiency, and reshoring everything isn’t always cost-effective. Rightshoring offers a smarter approach—balancing cost, risk, and proximity to customers to create more resilient supply chains. As Todd Bauman, Senior Director of Global Supply Chain, explains: "Reshoring is an important part of supply chain strategy, but the focus should be on ensuring manufacturers are strategically located near their customers, not just bringing production back home."

Scaling production isn’t just about increasing output—it’s about doing so efficiently, reliably, and cost-effectively. By embracing scalable automation, medical manufacturers can: ? Build resilient supply chains and flexible production systems to adapt to market changes. ? Design products with automation in mind to ensure seamless transitions from prototype to production. ? Leverage nearshoring with automation to improve lead times and regulatory compliance. Automation is a game-changer for companies looking to stay competitive in the world of manufacturing.
