Toronto-based Nulogy, the leading provider of cloud-based solutions for the contract packaging industry, has partnered with the Digital Manufacturing and Design Innovation Institute (DMDII) in order to drive digital standards that make manufacturers more efficient and competitive.
Nulogy, which provides solutions for the supply chains of Fortune 500 brands, spanning food & beverage, consumer goods, life sciences, and high tech industries, will participate in developing and promoting standards, and “working with DMDII to pave a path for end-to-end supply chain visibility, traceability and shortened delivery times, which will improve efficiency and quality for everyone involved in the creation and distribution of products, from design to delivery,” said Nulogy CEO Jason Tham in a June 8 announcement.
In making the announcement, Nulogy reported that 80 percent of U.S. manufacturers “acknowledge that digital manufacturing is a key element in their future competitiveness, but only 14 percent say they are adequately equipped today with digital technologies and related expertise. DMDII and its partners work to create the tools and technologies to fill this gap and solve today’s most pressing manufacturing challenges.”
Jason Harris, Director of Corporate Marketing at DMDII, noted two ways members of the Nulogy team can help foster the organization's goals: "First, they offer the perspective of a supply/logistics solution, which many of our members are seeking as part of their total Digital Manufacturing strategy. Secondly, they offer an entrepreneurial spirit, which contributes to the overall ecosystem we are building across our consortia and pushes us to move quicker."
Current DMDII projects span digital manufacturing and design, machine diagnostics and "self-correction," the Industrial Internet of Things, supply chain visibility, and cybersecurity for intelligent machines.
