IoT & Industry 4.0
When you take billions of devices and connect them through the Internet, collecting and sharing data, that is the IoT. These devices communicate and interact with other devices over the Internet, while being remotely monitored and managed.
Bringing Manufacturing Back Home
With the U.S. now imposing about $25 billion in tariffs on Chinese imports, many companies are reevaluating outsourcing-and realizing that reshoring their manufacturing processes makes sense in more ways than one.
Distributed Manufacturing in the Auto Industry
The automotive supply chain has become almost too massive to manage, leaving manufacturers and suppliers struggling to develop efficient processes to identify and prevent quality risks.
Guide to 3D Printing on the Production Line
White Paper - Many manufacturers have realized significant cost savings and productivity improvements by integrating high strength additive manufacturing (AM) technology into their business, especially in support of their maintenance, repair and operations (MRO) strategy.
Why Data Empowerment Matters
To successfully empower product and developer teams with data, iteration speed matters. Rather than having a central team determine what data can be used and who can access it, agility is essential.
A Disruptive AM Technology for Micro Manufacturing
Today, a new technology exists at the intersection of AM and micro manufacturing, opening up the possibility for manufactures to take advantage of the inherent advantages of AM while achieving micron level accuracy over a build envelope of 5 x 5 x 10cm.
Tips and Tricks for Selecting a Process Manufacturing ERP
Over the years, the enterprise resource planning (ERP) solutions have proved to be a crucial tool that can help transform any business by boosting its productivity and operational efficiency, and eventually improving its bottom-line.

Featured Product
Model TR1 Tru-Trac
The Model TR1 Tru-Trac® linear measurement solution is a versatile option for tracking velocity, position, or distance over a wide variety of surfaces. An integrated encoder, measuring wheel, and spring-loaded torsion arm in one, compact unit, the Model TR1 is easy to install. The spring-loaded torsion arm offers adjustable torsion load, allowing the Model TR1 to be mounted in almost any orientation - even upside-down. The threaded shaft on the pivot axis is field reversible, providing mounting access from either side. With operating speeds up to 3000 feet per minute, a wide variety of configuration options - including multiple wheel material options - and a housing made from a durable, conductive composite material that minimizes static buildup, the Model TR1 Tru-Trac® is the ideal solution for countless applications.
