Manufacturing companies today are facing unprecedented innovation challenges as
a result of government and industry regulation, consumer demand and the need to
find new ways of achieving competitive advantage. In order just to maintain their
market position, companies are forced to find and implement new innovative solutions
in manufacturing that will improve the quality, image and overall profitability
of their product lines. Open Innovation (OI) is increasingly becoming the "go-to"
strategy for companies seeking lower cost, sustainable manufacturing. Companies
are achieving these goals through a variety of approaches from rapid prototyping
and rapid tooling to reduced or repurposed waste streams.
NineSigma is helping companies address many challenges in manufacturing, including
the following:
- On-line inspection technologies to help improve quality and efficiency
- Waste reduction technologies to improve energy, water and material consumption
- Virtual manufacturing through specialized suppliers
- Flexible and/or modular manufacturing processes and technologies
- Enhanced processing capabilities for more refined product outputs
- New coating technologies to improve product results
- Rapid prototyping and tooling solutions
- Enhanced dimensioning, tolerancing and real-time recalibration technologies
- Engineering and manufacturing simulation technologies
