Abstract
Manufacturing has proven to be one of the most important sectors in an economy because it allows the country to be self-sufficient. Through manufacturing, a country can rely less on imports and can earn foreign currencies from exporting its manufactured products. Because it is such a vital sector for a country’s development, intensive research and money have been invested in this sector to address its limitations as well as devise ways to help the manufacturing process be more productive and time-efficient. Nanotechnology proved to have great potential in the arena of monitoring and enhancing manufacturing processes. The role that can be played by nanotechnology is comprehensively discussed in this section.
