Automation Investments Now Critical Due to Labor Shortage. The enduring labor shortage requires manufacturers to adjust their strategies to achieve higher productivity with a reduced workforce. Prioritizing investments in automation has become imperative. Inflation and labor shortages are making it necessary for organizations to rethink and lean out processes and invest in automation wherever possible. The ease of use and reliability of machinery, coupled with effective automation, play a crucial role in maximizing production output while operating in a cooling labor market.

“‘Many hands make light work,’ may need to be reconceived.  Maybe, ‘Lack of hands necessitates automation.’ If the labor isn’t there, maybe machinery and software will help us out of this bind.” – Al Kennickell, President, Kennickel Group.

Machinery and software are increasingly viewed as indispensable tools to overcome the challenges posed by labor shortages. Automation not only compensates for the scarcity of skilled labor but also positions organizations for resilience in the face of future uncertainties.

BRANDED INTERIORS

As all areas of wide-format business continue to grow, one particular trend is in interior design. Many companies are choosing to integrate applications such as SEG graphics and lightboxes to help promote and market their products and services. Office space is moving away from plain walls that offer no messaging about the company’s products, services or culture, and towards branded walls and interiors. This growth further necessitates the use of highly efficient, automated production, especially in light of a cooling labor market. As companies seek to upscale their workspace through unique, sustainable graphics incorporating the MX Event + SEAS is the solution to meeting the demands of a growing market.

The labor shortage has necessitated a paradigm shift in manufacturing and print industries, compelling organizations to prioritize automation as a means to achieve efficiency, productivity, and growth. The wide-format printing sector, exemplified by the adoption of  technologies like the MX Event + SEAS, showcases how automation can address the challenges posed by a diminishing labor force while fostering innovation and competitiveness.
