How Robotics Has Helped The Manufacturing Industry
Few industries have been impacted more by the advent of robotics than the manufacturing industry. In fact, the manufacturing industry was one of the first to implement robotics all the way back in 1961. Since then, science-fiction has become a normal part of life. Let's take a look at how robotics has become an indispensable asset to the manufacturing industry.
The STEM employment gap
The UK has the lowest percentage of female engineer professionals in Europe, with countries such as Cyprus having nearly three times as many women in similar roles. This article will focus on women's relationship with the STEM and manufacturing industries.
Time to fight corrosion - for the environment's sake
Innovative premium high-strength and high-performance stainless steel fasteners offer significant benefits - from product and asset infrastructure maintenance to total lifecycle costs - in many global industry sectors.
A Philosophy of Automation

What Does a Circular Economy Look Like in the Manufacturing Industry?
Embracing the circular economy means trading straight lines and dead ends in landfills for a true reduce-and-recycle mentality: one that lets far less material, energy and effort go to waste.
Challenges in Aerospace Innovation in 2019 and Solutions for 2020
Manufacturing for the aerospace industry faced roadblocks in 2019, which slowed the speed of innovation. This article looks at the three biggest challenges engineers in the aerospace industry faced in 2019 and anticipated solutions in 2020.
Composites for Car Part Manufacturing
Thermoset composites are formed using glass, carbon, or aramid fibers, which are then combined with resins such as polyesters, vinyl esters, epoxies, or phenolic resins.
The Future is Here with Robot Guidance Systems
Manufacturers are facing a number of challenges, but perhaps the biggest of them all is the implementation of automated material handling solutions. SICK, Inc. has the answer to this problem with a system-solution approach.
