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
