The products coming off the assembly line, the escalators you walk on in the mall, and the appliances you use at home all have one thing in common. They’re manufactured, monitored, and serviced with the help of Apple technology. iPhone, iPad, and iOS custom apps can keep workers’ schedules up-to-date, track inventory, warn of malfunctions before they happen, and help identify parts that are decades old. Every aspect of the manufacturing industry is being re-imagined with Apple.
