Manufacturers today are navigating a perfect storm: surging production demands, a retiring workforce, and legacy equipment that can’t keep pace with modern expectations. According to the National Association of Manufacturers, 1.9 million jobs may remain unfilled in the next decade, with many vacancies driven by retiring subject matter experts (SMEs). This creates costly gaps in troubleshooting, […]
