Manufacturing

Get the right inputs to predict trends, make investment decisions, automate processes, and build new products.

Web scraping for the manufacturing industry is making the Industry 5.0 revolution a reality with data from the web.

The availability of manufacturing and related data on the web has opened up new possibilities, providing the inputs needed to predict trends, make better investment decisions, automate processes, and build new products.

How fast is the world changing?

COVID-19 has been tough on the manufacturing industry. Declines in production, forced shutdowns in the early days of the pandemic, and industry-wide layoffs are just a few of the many challenges. Manufacturers should set goals for data extraction and analysis across the global manufacturing footprint, as this step alone is a key to identifying breakpoints and opportunities for improvement.
