Who is a Manufacturer?
A Manufacturer is a company that’s responsible for MAKING,PRODUCING/PUTTING together a particular product that can be directly consumed by customers or that can be useful for mankind.
Manufacturing is all about adding value to merchandise. This could be through the use of labor, machinery, chemicals, formulation, or biological processes to add value to a raw product before selling it. All activities involved in translating raw materials into finished product are part of the manufacturing process.Any technology that shapes or influences the manufacturing process is part and parcel of manufacturing technology.
Technology around Manufacturing & Agriculture!!!
The application of manufacturing technology principles will vary from one field to another. Nonetheless, there is a couple of technologies that hold their own regardless of the field. These include:
- The use of software to control the production line. This could be in the form of Computer Aided Design (CAD) to create a concept before using Computer Aided Manufacturing (CAM) to bring the design into reality.
- Material removal technologies like drilling, grinding, milling and the use of electrical discharge machines is crucial in fabrication industries. Material removal goes hand in hand with material forming that will bend, stamp and join the material forming the end product
- Material handling technologies that focus on moving partially formed material on the production line. This includes robots, conveyors and other automated systems that make it possible to actualize an efficient production line
Agriculture is essential to all people: farms provide us with food and fiber, natural areas, and aesthetic and environmental benefits. But agriculture is also the single largest source of nutrient and sediment pollution entering the Bay. While conventional tillage, fertilizers and pesticides can be beneficial to crops, their excessive use can pollute rivers and streams, pushing nutrients and sediment into waterways.
