MxD’s 22,000-square-foot, future factory floor in downtown Chicago features some of the most advanced manufacturing equipment and software available. As part of this collaboration with MxD and key organizational relationships, EY will provide hands-on demonstrations, showcasing how cutting-edge technology can solve today’s most pressing manufacturing challenges.
“The pandemic has put an increased spotlight on the fundamental shifts needed within the advanced manufacturing landscape and has created a new urgency for companies to evolve their business models accordingly,” says Chandra Brown, CEO of MxD. “Supply chain innovation is a long-standing priority for MxD and is deeply embedded in our goal to facilitate innovation at every step of the manufacturing process.”
EY technology and consulting capacities are critical to supporting companies’ digital transformation.
