Reshoring – What It is and How to Make It Possible
Several events of the last few years have made it obvious that global supply chains are not as reliable as once thought. From the pandemic to political brawls between economic powers and most recently the war in Ukraine, there have been plenty of reasons for companies to rethink their manufacturing processes. A potential solution is “Reshoring” (also “Backshoring” or “Nearshoring”). Let’s look at what it means and how it can benefit the entire world. What is ? „Reshoring“ is the … [Read more...] about Reshoring – What It is and How to Make It Possible

Automation and Sustainability
Climate change is undoubtly the biggest challenge of our current time. Since the start of the Industrial Revolution, the global temperature has been rising rapidly (Earth Observatory offers some interesting graphs here). All in all, there has been a temperature increase of 1°C so far. The Paris Agreement from 2015 sets the goal of limiting further temperature increases to 0,5° at best and 1° as a maximum amount. However, when the progess was reviewed at the 2021 UN Climate Change … [Read more...] about Automation and Sustainability
An Insight Look Into Our Integrated Software and Hardware Development at Sewts
At sewts, we automate processes that have never been automated before. Therefore, there’s a unique challenge in combining our software development with our hardware and process design efforts. Last year, we changed our development process to be more product-driven and to work around a few challenges we had been facing. In this insight article, we want to share the knowledge we’ve gained from our experiences with these modes of working. Our There are multiple challenges … [Read more...] about An Insight Look Into Our Integrated Software and Hardware Development at Sewts
