What Is the Role of Technology in Canadian Manufacturing? A Reality Check with Schneider Electric
Canadian manufacturing is in a tricky situation: it faces a labour and skills shortage that threatens its competitiveness and profitability. These shortages mean Canada missed out on almost $13 billion last year, according to a recent survey. An economic loss that by any means should not be discounted, especially since manufacturing is Canada’s second largest industry. So how do we fix this? Can advanced technology save Canadian manufacturing? Hugo Lafontaine, VP of Automation, Energy, Digitalization, and IoT at Schneider Electric Canada gives us a reality check on the situation.
