The 8 Wastes of Lean Manufacturing
The lean manufacturing methodology chiefly revolves around minimizing production times and raising efficiency by eliminating waste. In this post, we go through the 8 principal wastes in lean manufacturing and see how manufacturing software can help to address them.
Refurbishing Instead of Replacing
With cutting rings, a shearing tool removes the worn edges before they are built back up with 3D printing. Finally, the cutting rings are machined to the final shape.
Strategies for Optimizing Supply Chain with Automation
The pandemic brought supply chain to the forefront, leading companies to seek AI, analytics, and automation solutions for efficiency and meeting demand. Machine Learning predicts demand and AI/automation boosts quality and monitors events.
One Sweet Machine
From candy to coffee beans, AD Process Equipment's confectionery equipment applies coatings that make food taste better. NORD DRIVESYSTEMS helps them do so more efficiently.
The Basics of Warehouse Automation
The implementation of warehouse automation requires an experienced electrical, mechanical, and industrial engineering team and advanced software capabilities on hand.
How Effective Recycling Practices Can Impact the Redistribution of Global Resources and Wealth
The next leap forward in sustainability is going to be reclaiming the resources contained within the garbage and providing feedstock back into the manufacturing process.
