To maintain their performance and competitiveness, industrial factories will need to persevere with determination in 2024 and make strategic decisions. Faced with an inflationary environment, a recessionary economy, a shortage of labor, and increasingly stringent health standards, the risks are significant but manageable.

Drawing on our experience as a manufacturer and integrator of production lines for over 45 years, we want to share with you five tips to sustain your competitiveness in 2024:

1. Invest wisely in automation: Choose intelligent, flexible, and high-quality solutions when investing in automation. Don't settle for price alone. Select solutions that will accompany you in the long term, providing a tangible competitive advantage to adapt more quickly to market changes.
2. Implement a preventive maintenance plan: Shift from an approach of emergency maintenance to the implementation of a preventive maintenance program. The inherent benefits of this transition are numerous, including better control of operational costs, extended equipment lifespan, improved safety and compliance, and increased efficiency on the production line.
3. Explore new financing strategies: In an uncertain economic context, financial management is crucial. Explore new financing strategies, such as partnerships with financial institutions or experts in innovation financing. Collaborating with public institutions to obtain government grants or zero-interest loans can also contribute to maintaining your operations without compromising future growth.
4. Optimize energy costs: Encourage sustainable practices and the adoption of eco-energetic technologies to generate significant long-term savings. The deployment of intelligent management systems allows monitoring and adjustment of energy consumption, contributing to maintaining profitability while demonstrating a commitment to environmental responsibility.
5. Maximize the use of available workforce: Invest in versatile employee training and skills development to address the shortage of specialized labor. Adopting attractive workplace well-being policies and enhancing social benefits also contributes to attracting and retaining talent, ensuring operational stability.
