Please describe the publication's mission and readership:

Door and Window Market (DWM) magazine is devoted exclusively to the coverage of the door and window market. The magazine is delivered to all those involved in the manufacturing or sale of these products — owners, plant managers, marketing managers and more.

Please describe the enterprising work that went into this entry and its significance or impact on readers:

The dizzying technological changes in manufacturing -- automation, 3-D printing and more -- are starting to make an impact on the door and window industry, even if total adoption of every trend remains a long way off. With that in mind, DWM editor Trey Barrineau thought it would be worthwhile to show what the window factory of the future might look like. For the magazine's June-July issue, he interviewed experts in the industry who are knowledgeable about robotics and maximizing manufacturing space, and he augmented his reporting with research that shows the degree to which the door and window industry of 2018 is actually adapting these new technologies. The result is a package that is forward-looking while providing a realistic snapshot of what's going on right now.
