discrete manufacturing

Discrete manufacturing involves producing distinct, individual items such as cars, computers, or furniture. Each product is assembled from separate parts or components, often in multiple steps and specialized stations. This process allows for customization, easy tracking of parts, and efficient production of specific units. It contrasts with continuous manufacturing, which produces endless quantities of a single material like liquids or bulk chemicals. Discrete manufacturing emphasizes precision, quality control, and flexibility to meet varying customer demands, often utilizing advanced tools like automation, robotics, and computer systems to optimize production efficiency and ensure high standards.
