The products coming off the assembly line, the escalators you walk on in the shopping centre 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 reimagined with Apple.
