So how do manufacturers optimize globally stretched production networks and supply chains in a world where expertise is both scarce and widely dispersed? A growing number of global manufacturers are turning to virtual and mobile collaboration solutions to bring experts "face to face" with colleagues, dealers, partners, and customers no matter where they're located.
Among the most advanced of these solutions is Cisco Remote Expert for Manufacturing, an enterprise-class, remote collaboration and communications platform that combines high-definition video, audio streams, and data capabilities.

Conclusion
In a global economy that is constantly reinventing itself, manufacturers are caught in a bind. Speed
and agility are essential for success, but the distances separating operations and suppliers are
greater than ever ― and that means the expertise manufacturers need to optimize production and
profits are rarely located in the place they’re needed most.
By deploying Cisco Remote Expert for Manufacturing solutions, companies are conquering the
challenges of distance and logistics, using secure video and data platforms to find and instantly
engage engineers and SMEs to solve problems in operations anywhere in the world―and to transfer
skills and best practices far more efficiently than before.
Furthermore, the Cisco Remote Expert platform enables tighter coordination with suppliers and
dealer networks spanning time zones, helping improve manufacturing throughput, quality, and
customer service. It helps product developers and sales teams build closer relationships with
customers and to capture feedback, so that developers build better products going forward.
Faster and dramatically more cost-effective than traditional travel, Cisco Remote Expert for
Manufacturing gives companies the power to realize value sooner across a range of business
areas and compete more effectively in an accelerating global marketplace.
