The June 2020 issue of Manufacturing AUTOMATION is now online!

The June digital edition of Manufacturing AUTOMATION is now available!

Our cover story delves into why COVID-19 has created a sense of urgency to automate manufacturing supply chains. I checked in with a supply chain expert from IBM and with an Ontario automation supplier, who both said the manufacturing industry in North America will see rapid implementation of automation technologies for supply chain management to prepare for the next crisis.

Also in this issue, you’ll find:
