Trends in the North American Connector Market in Relation to Industrial Automation
The North American market is strategically important for Harwin, and we have recently completed a market survey of developers and buyers in this region. This captured many of the concerns facing engineers relating to connectors.
How Manufacturers Are Reimagining Customer Relationships for 2026
One of the biggest shifts we're seeing is the move toward truly customer-centric operations. Manufacturers are reassessing everything from technology investments to service models with the goal of delivering more reliable, personalized experiences.
Digital Twins Game and Gaining Advantage in Warehousing from using AI
Warehouses are turning to digital twins because traditional planning tools cannot keep up with the level of volatility they now face. Recent years brought extreme swings in demand, supplier shifts, labor shortages, and transportation disruptions.
The Distinctions between PLM & CLM and why they are Essential in Modern Manufacturing
If the world was focused on mass production of standard products with no customization, then PLM would be all you need to manage your product lifecycle. However, mass customization has been a reality for some time and is growing.
Energy Optimization Becoming a Competitive Differentiator for 2026
Energy efficiency will ultimately shift from a "nice to have" to a competitive enabler and risk mitigator in the F&B manufacturing space. Using IoT and asset management systems, manufacturers can build resilience with more predictable production strategies.
Artificial Intelligence Integrated ERP Software
There is no AI training or lengthy configuration. Customers can turn it on and get immediate value, which makes it very different from AI tools that require heavy setup before anyone can use them.
Driving Performance Improvement on the Shop Floor with Production Data
One of my favorite customer lines is, "I need parts, not charts." And that really captures what Datanomix is about: helping manufacturers solve real business problems by clearly showing what's happening on their shop floor.
2025 Top Article - Common Misconceptions Manufacturers have about AI
With over 25 years of experience advising mid-market companies, Ghori provides a grounded yet progressive-looking take on where manufacturers should focus, what misconceptions to avoid, and how to get started without overhauling everything.
2025 Top Article - Monitoring Tools for Manufacturing Plant Maintenance
Electrical power delivery systems are usually the most impactful on plant operation. The cost of failure of certain pieces of equipment can quickly escalate into multi-millions of dollars of equipment replacement costs and production downtime.
2025 Top Article - The Rise of AI in Manufacturing to Collect and Use Data
While AI and machine learning systems typically require around two years to collect enough data to reach their full potential, manufacturers can start seeing benefits almost immediately with basic analysis tools and dashboards.
How AI, Robotics, and Digital Twins are Transforming Modern Production Environments
I'm most excited about Cognitive AI becoming the factory's operating system, and cobots will effectively program themselves through natural language, teach-by-demonstration, and auto-generated PLC/robot code.
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.
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.
Comprehensive Guide to Composite Materials and Simulation
Composite simulation is crucial because it lets engineers explore designs, optimize performance, and spot failures digitally, saving tons of time and money compared to physical testing. It's challenging due to anisotropy, modeling delamination, and high computational cost.
