The Industrial Manufacturing industry remains on the forefront in embracing new technologies including manufacturing 4.0, 3D printing, data-driven automation and robotics. The industry covers a wide variety of major manufacturing plants that include automotive assembly, lithium-ion battery mega factories, data centers, solar panels, wind turbines, aircraft manufacturing, ship building, and inland & deep water ports among many others.

While Asia remains the leading manufacturer of much of the world’s goods and products, in the new post-pandemic world, other regions are pulling out all the stops to become more self-reliant and that has led to significant spending globally. This has been especially true within the Industrial Manufacturing industry due to its wide variety of types of manufacturing plants that are covered.

The first place we visit is the manufacturing facility of the company. The manufacturing facility is the facility where the business builds its products. Another name for this type of facility is an industrial facility. The company has both heavy manufacturing facilities as well as light industrial facilities. It is in the heavy manufacturing facilities that the company makes all of their very large and very bulky items, such as their large-screen televisions. It is in the light industrial facilities that the company makes their small items, such as their glasses with a little computer screen in the corner.

Looking at their facilities, it’s amazing how smoothly everything is working. The company representative tells us that making their own products and keeping their processes smooth are a couple ways they keep prices low and quality high.

Not all businesses are like Make-All Sell-All, though, and the definition of heavy and light manufacturing can vary depending on the company. Looking at other businesses, we see that it is in heavy manufacturing facilities that large, complex items are made. For example, the automotive, heavy equipment, shipbuilding and aircraft industries all require heavy manufacturing facilities. Heavy industrial facilities can also produce materials like refined oil and steel products.

In light industrial facilities, smaller items, such as furniture, clothing, and toiletries, are produced. As mentioned before, the meaning of heavy and light manufacturing can vary greatly depending on the company. While Make-All Sell-All’s heavy manufacturing facility makes things like televisions, the heavy industrial facility down the road makes cars and trucks. In other words, what qualifies as a heavy manufacturing facility in one business might qualify as a light manufacturing facility when compared to other businesses.
