What does it mean to be truly innovative? For some, it means making people’s everyday lives easier in the ways they least expected. For others, it could be pushing the envelope of technological limitations for the sake of shattering the boundaries of today. For Jabil, innovation is all of these things and more as we enable our customers’ visions to engineer growth in a world of change.
At the forefront of these efforts is the new Jabil Blue Sky Center in Silicon Valley that had it's grand opening April 30th of this year.
Across every market the rate of change is increasing exponentially. The way business is conducted now could change drastically in a few short weeks with the release of a product no one was expecting. To help our customers keep pace and stay relevant in the face of unrelenting change, Jabil designed and developed the Blue Sky environment to ignite the imagination but equally as important to leverage our innovative technologies and solutions in solving our customer’s most complex problems QUICKLY. Our customers have walked into Blue Sky with an idea in their head at 8:00 am in the morning, a design done by noon and walking out with a prototype in hand by 4:00 pm that same day! That's the kind of ingenuity and speed they need to keep pace.
What we're seeing about 180 days into the Blue Sky journey is that our customers are incredibly creative and tuned in to what their customers need, no shortage of good ideas, but what stands between their ideas and getting to a product is legacy design approaches, non-salable manufacturing footprints, and rigid supply chain tools and processes (read - spread sheets) that prevent those innovations from seeing the light of day.
At Jabil, we believe that we can help our customers realize innovation through world class product design and development capabilities, global scale manufacturing that leverages the most advanced automation and material sciences, and a completely digitized, completely intelligent Supply Chain control center. Through these 3 core elements, we absolutely can help our customer stay relevant and in most cases cutting edge, so they are disrupting versus being disrupted!
Your Innovation + our Ingenuity is truly proving to be a winning formula and Blue Sky is where all the magic starts to happen!

9 年Amazing! And so proud to be part of your vision Erich, both with iDSC and with the Blue Sky center itself! You and Bill Muir are the reason we come into work every day with a smile on our fact. And that smile grows as we see customers walk out of Blue Sky with a feeling that their product development is in good/safe hands! Thanks for all you do!
