The Library of Machine Malfunctions and Changing the Factory-Worker Relationship
The goal from day one was clear: build the definitive source of industrial reliability knowledge, and open it up to empower teams everywhere to shift from reactive troubleshooting to proactive control.
When Clean is the Key to Precision
Micro molded parts are often invisible to the naked eye, measured in millimeters or fractions of millimeters, with features that can be smaller than a human hair. In this context, a single dust particle can disrupt form, fit, or function.
How Machine Vision is Enhancing Automation Safety and Efficiency
Technologies to extract high-level meaning from images are increasingly common. Within the research community, such technologies are often considered different from machine vision. However, all are different ways of achieving machine vision and in many cases overlap.
PILLARS OF TOMORROW - A hopeful vision of Government, Technology, and Human Dignity in harmony
For centuries, visions of the future have been dominated by dystopian warnings - cautionary tales of power gone wrong. Five Pillars of Tomorrow offers an alternative: a governance model where transparency, collective wisdom, and advanced AI safeguard human dignity.
Falling Behind Competition? Feel Like You Are Not Innovating Enough? Rethink Your CAD Platform.
Transitioning to cloud-native CAD mitigates legacy system burdens. Organizations can eliminate high upfront costs, reduce IT overhead, dismantle data silos, enable seamless collaboration, and access integrated data management.
Maximizing ROI with Mobile Automation: What the Data Shows
Technologies like autonomous mobile robots (AMRs) and automated guided vehicles (AGVs) are helping companies bring autonomy to material movement more efficiently, safely, and cost-effectively than ever before.
How Collision Awareness Systems Help Meet OSHA Forklift & Pedestrian Safety Guidelines
According to OSHA, approximately 35,000 serious injuries and 62,000 non-serious injuries involving forklifts occur each year in the U.S., many of which are due to poor visibility, blind spots, and uncontrolled intersections in warehouses.
