What's breaking in your Manufacturing Business?

Manufacturing businesses often struggle with operational visibility, production tracking, compliance requirements, financing challenges, and fragmented data across departments. In this interactive session hosted by Team Visey, manufacturing leaders, consultants, founders, and technology experts explored practical solutions for improving traceability, efficiency, and scalability in Micro, Small, and Medium Enterprises (MSMEs). Led by Tejas MK, the discussion covered real-world manufacturing challenges, the importance of traceability, affordable software solutions for MSMEs, AI-driven market intelligence, data engineering, robotics, and the future of Indian manufacturing. Participants shared experiences from industries including cosmetics manufacturing, consumer appliances, automation, and data engineering, providing valuable insights into the operational barriers facing growing businesses.

MSMEs require affordable, customizable software rather than enterprise-scale solutions. Data visibility across sales, inventory, and production functions can significantly improve decision-making. Standard operating procedures and vendor traceability frameworks help improve quality and delivery performance. Data engineering, observability, and secure pipelines are becoming foundational for AI adoption in manufacturing. The future of manufacturing lies in combining operational data, automation, and indigenous technology development. Thank you to all participants for sharing their experiences and insights.
