Through diligent education and awareness of this evolving landscape, businesses and their partners can thrive by using emerging technologies and position themselves competitively.
Overcoming the pilot-to-production cost barrier with Edge AI
During pilots, you have all the resources—engineers, servers, hardware—and you'll make it work because you're putting your utmost attention on it. But when you try to replicate that across 100, 200, or 500 locations, it falls on its face.
Rewriting the Rules of Scalable Manufacturing
The project, which fused AM-driven computational design with production-grade investment casting, successfully scaled an intricately engineered part from tens to thousands per day — all without compromising performance, cost-efficiency, or sustainability.
Battery Manufacturer Cuts Scrap by 90% and Streamlines Prototyping
Lithos has now built a repeatable system through PICO to speed up prototyping, minimize losses, and ensure every change is intentional, traceable, and scalable.
From Legacy to Leadership: Building the Manufacturing Company of Today
While the idea of a greenfield smart factory is appealing, it’s simply not the reality for most companies. What they need isn’t a futuristic leap—but a practical step forward. That means modernizing existing operations to build a factory of today.
Innovation means also taking risks
On the importance of optimized processes, the freedom to come up with ideas and the courage to try something new: as Managing Director, Dr. Udo Haberland is responsible for the areas of Development, Research, Quality, Logistics and Production.
PHA Revalidations | Beyond Checking Boxes
A well-executed Process Hazard Analysis (PHA) is a vital safeguard, helping teams identify potential risks and define the controls needed to mitigate them. But a PHA isn’t a one-time event. As facilities and operations evolve, so must the analysis.
