QAD made this investment because the shop floor and the supply chain are becoming highly automated and integrated \u2013 primarily through robotics and IoT. QAD Automation Solutions acts as a foundational IoT backbone for customers. In fact, we see IoT potentially having a huge impact on the <\/span><a target=\"_blank\" href=\"https:\/\/www.qad.com\/blog\/2016\/08\/iot-medical-devices\/\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">medical device industry<\/span><\/a><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">.<\/span><\/p>\n<h2>3D Printing in the Supply Chain<\/h2>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">3D Printing, also known as additive manufacturing, will obviously change production processing for many manufactures, but will also transform supply chains. While the material needs of a manufacturer might change due to 3D, there are other powerful impacts. <\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">For example, with 3D Printing a manufacturer&#8217;s intellectual property shifts from managing physical objects to controlling design media. This is analogous to what has happened in industries like software, music, and movies.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">As a result, concepts like digital rights and media management, similar to those used by Apple, Amazon and Google, will become important aspects of managing data in the <a href=\"https:\/\/www.qad.com\/cloud-erp\">ERP<\/a> world. QAD is observing these trends closely and waiting for this inevitable trend to become a real-world business need. <\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">QAD will continue investing in R&amp;D to stay abreast of these important emerging technologies that will all require ERP and related supply chain solutions to enable manufacturing business processes transformation. QAD looks before it leaps onto technology bandwagons. All this new technology must be applied for the obvious benefit of customers. QAD looks for technology that produces positive business outcomes for manufacturers at an acceptable risk and cost.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Do you find yourself wading through the seemingly endless new technology?
