Smart Manufacturing in Plastic Injection Molding

Content Summary

Smart Manufacturing is talked about quite a bit. It goes by other names, too, like the Internet of Things
(IoT), Industrial IoT (IIoT), and Industry 4.0. The term IoT was first coined by Peter T. Lewis in 1985 to
describe “the integration of people, processes, and technology with connectable devices and sensors
to enable remote monitoring, status, manipulation, and evaluation of trends of such devices.”

So the term has been around for a while now, but the concept still continues to develop and evolve as
technology continues to advance through new hardware like sensors, and through the collection and
analysis of data. So, how have the advancements in smart manufacturing affected the plastic injection
molding business? This article takes a look at the topic.
