Technology has had a profound impact on this sector, and it continues to drive changes and improvements in the way products are made.<\/p>\n<p>Increased global competition, rising labor costs, the skills gap, technological disruption, and vulnerability to cyber criminals are some of the challenges in front of manufacturers today.
