In today’s highly competitive global furniture industry, timing is everything. 

You know that when it comes to production, nothing can impact productivity and profitability like interruptions in getting orders to their final destinations. Organizations that don’t maximize the efficiency of their furniture manufacturing process – and reduce the amount of disruptions – can put themselves at risk for financial penalties and miss opportunities to grow their business.

The upholstered furniture industry is under a state of transformation, providing the ideal platform for growth and evolution. The introduction of cyber-physical systems, the Internet of Things, big data and cognitive computing – what’s being called the Fourth Industrial Revolution, or Industry 4.0 – are allowing operational leaders to meet new industry demands and increase efficiencies in production quicker than ever before. Today’s fast-paced and shifting market presents an opportunity for furniture manufacturers to rethink how they create and deliver to customers. At the core of this shift is ensuring production efficiency and intuitive processes, and Industry 4.0 is leading the way for furniture producers to keep their production processes humming. Because when you can reduce the amount of interruptions in furniture manufacturing, you can have a lasting effect on the entire business – preventing the loss of production capacity and wasted labor costs, while increasing customer loyalty and satisfaction –while making a positive impact on the bottom line. So how can you, too, prevent production interruptions?
