To manage these risks at scale, organizations need modern Privileged Access Management (PAM). Unlike legacy access controls, modern PAM enforces least-privilege access, monitors high-risk accounts in real time and integrates seamlessly with broader security ecosystems.
Sustaining a Positive Manufacturing Workplace in an Evolving AI World
If businesses approach the transition to an AI-enhanced workplace strategically, it can lead to a workforce that is invested, outcome-oriented, and well-positioned for a successful future.
The Next Industrial Epoch is Here: Why Acting Now is a Strategic Imperative for Manufacturers
The convergence of technological maturity, proven financial returns, and a strategic need for resilient domestic production has created a generational opportunity, and the window to act is now.
Why Automation, Not Wafer Size, Determines Semiconductor Fab Cycle Time
New 200 mm capacity is often built from scratch or heavily refurbished, making it easier to apply the same automation patterns used in 300 mm fabs. The result is convergence; wafer diameter still affects output per lot, but it no longer indicates the level of automation.
AI in Manufacturing: Why Now Matters
In an environment driven by Lean Manufacturing and Continuous Improvement, AI empowers shops to act faster and smarter, without adding more headcount.
Using AI to Solve the "Execution Gap" in Manufacturing
Max AI doesn't just bridge the execution gap - it sets a new standard for modern manufacturing. By acting in real time - watching, thinking, and doing - it removes the friction and firefighting that once consumed operators, supervisors, and planners.
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.

As the industry navigates the next decade, it will adapt to the digital transformation and the emergence of smart vehicles. Here are nine evidence-backed predictions for the next 10 years of auto part manufacturing.
How Real-Time Manufacturing Operations Drive Competitive Advantage in Volatile Markets
Manufacturing executives confronting today’s operational challenges recognize a fundamental truth: traditional execution systems designed for stable markets have become organizational liabilities.
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.

FLIR Si1-LD - Industrial Acoustic Imaging Camera for Compressed Air Leak Detection
FLIR Si1-LD - Industrial Acoustic Imaging Camera for Compressed Air Leak Detection
The FLIR Si1-LD is an easy-to-use acoustic imaging camera for locating and quantifying pressurized leaks in compressed air systems. This lightweight, one-handed camera is designed to help maintenance, manufacturing, and engineering professionals identify air leaks faster than with traditional methods. Built with a carefully constructed array of MEMS microphones for high sensitivity, the Si1-LD produces a precise acoustic image that visually displays ultrasonic information, even in loud, industrial environments. The acoustic image is overlaid in real time on a digital image, allowing you to accurately pinpoint the source of the sound, with onboard analytics which quantify the losses being incurred. The Si1-LD features a plugin that enables you to import acoustic images to FLIR Thermal Studio suite for offline editing, analysis, and advanced report creation. Field analysis and reporting can also be done using the FLIR Acoustic Camera Viewer cloud service. Transferring of images can be managed via memory stick or USB data cable. Through a regular maintenance routine, the FLIR Si1-LD can help facilities reduce their environmental impact and save money on utility bills.
