Deloitte 2020 Manufacturing Outlook: The Keys to Weather the Storm
One of the trends we've identified is the interest by diversified industrial companies to streamline businesses and realign around key markets or customer segments to further drive results. We're seeing an increase in mergers, acquisitions, and divestitures as these companies recalibrate their capabilities.
The Big Challenges of 3D Printing
With all of the benefits of 3D printing, you'd think it would be as commonplace as Wi-Fi in today's world - but that's actually not the case. Many companies are struggling to find ways to incorporate 3D technology printing into their product development and manufacturing operations.
Case Study: Phase Four Launches Scalable Electric Propulsion (EP) System with Xometry
This innovative California-based aerospace company is revolutionizing space exploration with Maxwell, its mass-producible EP system. Xometry is the manufacturing platform that's bringing its exoskeleton from its 12-page drawing to life.
Nanotechnology and the future of manufacturing
Nanotechnology involves the manipulation of matter on the atomic and molecular scale - structures between one and 100 nanometres in size. To put that into perspective, comparing a nanometre to a metre is like comparing the size of a marble to the size of the earth. Here Mark Howard, US country manager at automation parts supplier, EU Automation discusses three exciting applications of nanotechnology in manufacturing.
Cloud Deployments in Mission-critical Operations
As an industrial manufacturing engineer writing and speaking about the supply chain for many years, as well as being in the field helping companies for most all of my career, I wanted to pass on some thoughts and information for those of you that are considering this type of deployment option - especially if your mission-critical business depends upon a working cloud.
The Costs and Risks of Overlooking Flash Storage in Rugged Industrial Applications
Industrial OEMs see value in optimizing the right flash technology to ensure host architecture compatibility while meeting application workload requirements.
Industrial IoT Spending Skyrockets As Manufacturing Sector Braces for Change
The promise of greatly enhanced productivity is leading manufacturers to embrace smarter, autonomous IoT-based systems. Choice IOT's Darren Sadana points out the importance of building these new capabilities on a stable infrastructure.
How Robotics Has Helped The Manufacturing Industry
Few industries have been impacted more by the advent of robotics than the manufacturing industry. In fact, the manufacturing industry was one of the first to implement robotics all the way back in 1961. Since then, science-fiction has become a normal part of life. Let's take a look at how robotics has become an indispensable asset to the manufacturing industry.
The Right Choice 40 Years Ago. The Right Choice for the Next 40 Years
By working with Leslie Controls, a customer protected their original investment and was able to work through the plant re-certification process cost-effectively
ERP Implementation Fails to Avoid
Enterprise Resource Planning (ERP) is like the magic glue that binds an organization together. It gives complete visibility into tasks, data, and streamlines utilization of resources in a company.
How to convert a 3D Printer to a Laser Cutter
You can not only use your 3d printer for printing, but it is also an XYZ motion platform. By attaching a laser to the extruder, for example, you can easily convert your 3d printer to a laser engraver or even cutter.
The STEM employment gap
The UK has the lowest percentage of female engineer professionals in Europe, with countries such as Cyprus having nearly three times as many women in similar roles. This article will focus on women's relationship with the STEM and manufacturing industries.
Using Biometrics in Industrial Control Systems
The State of Industrial Cybersecurity Report 2018, from the Kaspersky Lab, found that 54 per cent of respondents who had experienced a cyber-attack on their industrial control system (ICS) noticed damage to their products or services. Industrial control systems are critical to business success, so how can we protect them better?
The ix Industrial Interface Opens New Opportunities
As miniaturization advances, devices get smaller and smaller, as do the circuit boards upon where the sockets are mounted. As a result, the connector's dimensions of 7 mm to 11 mm become comparatively large and the product designer must ensure sufficient space is allocated.
Advance the Manufacturing of Tomorrow by Investing in the Workforce of Today
If manufacturers don't find a way to develop the current workforce and arm employees with the skills needed to work in modern manufacturing plants, it's anticipated that more than two million jobs will go unfilled.
