Building a ‘Factory of the Future’

Smart manufacturing is reaching a tipping point, with real value now being realized from factory automation, edge-to-cloud data integration, AI-driven insights and industrial IoT.1

Staying up to date with the latest equipment, technology, and infrastructure is crucial for manufacturers to grow. Yet, balancing these upgrades with tight budgets and rising costs can be challenging. Strategic financing enables manufacturers to accelerate these initiatives by overcoming capital constraints—helping to keep projects on schedule and within budget.

Key Considerations:

78%

of manufacturers indicated they have implemented or plan to invest in supply chain planning software.2

~30%

of industrial product manufacturers plan to invest in XR technologies over the next three years, while more than 40% plan to invest in AI and machine learning.2

Financing Hardware and Software Projects can Provide:

Aligning technology expenses with usage offers a proactive and effective way to plan budgets, manage costs, and keep critical projects on track.

Modern ERP systems streamline operations, reduce manual processes, and improve data visibility across departments. With flexible financing solutions, you can avoid the large upfront costs that commonly delay these projects.

Aging equipment and legacy systems drain resources and slow operations. Refresh cycles can help reduce maintenance costs, enhance performance, and strengthen cybersecurity by minimizing exposure to vulnerabilities.

Take advantage of potential tax benefits—like Section 179 and bonus depreciation—while modernizing your infrastructure with flexible financing.
