Navigating Tariffs & Reshoring Starts with Your Digital Foundation

April 15, 2025 Sean Smith

As the trend of reshoring manufacturing operations to the U.S. gains momentum, engineering and IT leaders face the critical task of ensuring their digital infrastructure is equipped to handle increased production demands, tighter lead times, and enhanced agility. A robust digital foundation is paramount to the success of these initiatives.​

Assessing Your Current Systems

Before embarking on reshoring, it's essential to evaluate your existing design and data management systems. Are your CAD, PLM, and ERP systems integrated seamlessly? Do they support real-time collaboration and data access across departments? Identifying gaps in your digital infrastructure can prevent costly disruptions down the line.​

Benefits of Integration

Integrating your digital tools ensures that design, production, and management teams operate from a single source of truth. This integration facilitates:​

  • Improved collaboration across departments​
  • Faster decision-making processes​
  • Reduced errors and redundancies​
  • Enhanced scalability to meet increased production demands​
