💡 Breaking Down Silos in Manufacturing At CADDi, we believe true manufacturing efficiency begins with shared context. As our VP of Marketing, Aaron Lober, highlighted, the lack of a unified understanding across the supply chain—among sales, procurement, engineering, and operations—can lead to costly inefficiencies, even when cutting-edge machinery is in place. Whether it’s laser-cut blanks gathering dust or robots welding the wrong parts, the root issue often lies in compartmentalization, not technology. That’s why #CADDiDrawer is designed to connect your entire parts record, ensuring everyone operates from the same “apples-to-apples” perspective. We were thrilled to showcase this vision at FABTECH Expo, where the focus on digital transformation in manufacturing has never been more evident! From screens to software, it’s clear the industry is embracing smarter ways to work. Check out the full FABTECH 2024 recap here: https://lnkd.in/gdGq5CXM #ManufacturingEfficiency #DigitalTransformation #CADDi #FABTECH

Have you watched the latest episode of The Manufacturing Stream Podcast? In this recent episode I interview Chris Brown, VP of Sales for CADDi. We tackle some of the most pressing issues shaping the future of manufacturing. Key insights from the conversation: ✅ The Reshoring Movement: Between global disruptions like COVID, labor uncertainties, and economic policies, the U.S. manufacturing sector is gearing up for a massive reshoring effort. ✅ The Skilled Labor Gap: As we bring work back, we face a critical challenge—the largest skilled labor gap in manufacturing history. ✅ Empowering People: The future isn’t just about machines; it’s about empowering workers to focus on novel, high-impact tasks. Think building rockets, establishing moon bases, and taking humanity to new frontiers. This conversation goes beyond the shop floor. It’s about the role of manufacturing in driving societal progress and how we prepare the next generation of skilled workers for challenges that demand both creativity and precision. Tune in to hear more about how leaders and companies like Chris and Caddi are shaping this pivotal moment in the industry. 🎧 Let’s discuss how manufacturing can innovate and thrive in the face of these challenges! 🖥️ Watch here: https://lnkd.in/gcXiTyJu 🎙️ Listen here: https://lnkd.in/gDFb78Fh #ManufacturingStream #Reshoring #WorkforceDevelopment #Innovation
