Four TCP-Based Communication Protocols That Are Key to IIoT-Part 1: MQTT
MQTT (Message Queuing Telemetry Transport) is a compact, binary, open, and easy-to-implement publish/subscribe messaging protocol. It is a certified OASIS and ISO standard (ISO/IEC 20922:2016) managed by the OASIS Technical Committee.
Sustainability, AI, Industrial Dryers, and the Shift to Predictive Quality Analytics
In the era of big data and corporate sustainability, industrial AI is undergoing a significant shift. It's moving from traditional use cases like predictive maintenance to more advanced solutions for predictive quality analytics.
The Role of Energy Management Systems in Smart Factories
Energy management systems include Internet of Things (IoT) sensors, smart transformers, connected HVAC equipment and cloud computing platforms to control it all. While implementing this technology can be daunting, it plays several key roles in smart factory operations.
Beyond Noise: The 5 Benefits of Acoustic and Vibration Analysis
If we know the good behavior of a stationary random vibration, we can analyze and understand the random vibrations of a rotary machine that is wearing down over time and predict its failure.
Motion feedback really is everywhere - Here's how encoders help make beer
When you buy the best equipment, you want the best components, too. That's why Community Beer Company uses an EPC encoder in their brewing equipment.
The Manufacturing Talent Crunch and the CNC Machining Knowledge Capitalization
In this article, George Chen, DELMIA Senior Offer Marketing and Business Development Manager, takes a closer look at how advanced manufacturing could hold the key to addressing the skills gap in manufacturing.
How Pallet Automation is Revolutionizing Warehouse Operations
Efficient warehouse operations are the backbone of any successful business. In today's fast-paced world, customer demand is higher than ever, and companies must meet this demand while reducing costs and staying competitive.
Optimizing your warehouse to streamline business
No matter the business's size, strong, optimized warehouse management stands as the cornerstone of a successful supply chain, overseeing everything from inventory intake to order dispatch.
Increasing Throughput With High-Speed Laser Cutting Systems
Laser cutting is more efficient than conventional machining. However, as downstream demand rises, manufacturers must go beyond merely adopting this technology and refine their implementation to get more out of it. Several strategies can increase laser cutting throughput.
The only thing guaranteed is uncertainty, what should supply chains do?
Meeting availability targets has always been tough, but today it just feels harder. Every day headwinds hit. Supply chain teams scramble to revise forecasts, switch suppliers, increase safety stock, but somehow they're still left with the same central problem: uncertainty.
Is Industry 4.0 Here? How AI is Transforming Manufacturing Today
In a recent SparkCognition webinar, "Top 3 Ways AI is Transforming Manufacturing," Andrea Schmidt and Bhavana Brar explored the topic of Industry 4.0, outlined the topline challenges and opportunities of adopting AI in the manufacturing industry.
You Might Not Need Automation To Realize Greater Efficiency in Storage Operations
You could get the greatest benefits from additional automation if you first make sure your existing facilities support the highest productivity possible and the highest storage density feasible for your type of operation.
Create Tomorrow's Manufacturing Talent Today With These 8 Simple Strategies
Manufacturers must maintain growth and productivity, but its current workforce isn't growing at the same rate as these demands. Attracting younger talent is crucial amid this trend.
The Role of Conveyor Systems in Warehouse Logistics
In many warehouses there is still a reliance on manual labour and heavy lifting which can put workers at risk, as well as compromise on efficiency. This is where conveyor systems can completely revolutionise a warehouse operation.
Inspecting Miniaturization: How 2D Laser Profilers Handle Tiny Electronic Components
The miniature size of modern electronic components makes placement, mounting, soldering, and testing of said components rather difficult. Given their size and the overall component density on the PCB, visual inspection is nearly impossible.
