Abstract
Lean, agile, just-in-time, future, green, energy efficient and robust are just some of the terms used to describe the next generation manufacturing. The focus for manufacturing is dependent on the year, the challenges, the feature technologies, the consumer demands, and business pressures. This paper discusses the potential of the future of manufacturing, which utilizes technologies that allow for real time visibility of location and condition of assets for use in decision making to anticipate the manufacturing process and meet demands.
