Learn about the minds and origins behind the processes and products that shape manufacturing today!

A new generation of Inventors is creating new products every day to keep up with the changing demands and policies of the world around them. In turn, the speed at which manufacturers are being asked to adapt their supply chains and shop floor processes continues to increase as well. The heroes of manufacturing helped to provide the foundation on which our modern manufacturing processes are based, but the world continues to demand more from their suppliers.

Manufacturers continue to turn to the inventors and innovators within their internal teams who work to find solutions to these new challenges.

The modern-day inventors and problem-solvers are now aided by adaptive software and digital technology to help them make smart, actionable decisions, improve existing processes and identify opportunities in real-time to meet the demand of next-generation manufacturing. With this in mind, we celebrate inventors of all eras today and continue to look forward to the innovations they contribute to our changing world.
