Description

Our Factory of the Future Consulting team serves as a trusted partner and advisor for our diverse customer base for developing automation strategies and identifying opportunities to accelerate transformational manufacturing improvements or greenfield site builds. Our clients range from Fortune 500 teams to privately-held, single-site manufacturers across many industries such as Medical Devices / Life Sciences, Renewable Energy Generation & Storage, Mobility, Agriculture, Construction Products, Aerospace, and Industrial Goods & Products. Our project work is diverse and offers an opportunity to evaluate automation solutions across multiple technologies and solution spaces, often combining multiple technologies and manufacturing processes. While each project is unique, a typical engagement consists of an on-site workshop at our customer’s factories, followed by deep-dives into the ‘what, how, and why’ of potential automation or tooling projects. Our consulting team sits at the nexus of Invio’s entire suite of Industry 4.0 solutions and collaborates significantly with Invio’s in-house design, subject-matter experts, engineering, and estimating teams.
