The Rise of Smart Data in Manufacturing
A lot has been said about "digital transformations," and with good reason. Companies that want to survive realistically in a world with global competition and pressures require a paradigm shift to move forward.
Determining Cost-Effective Error Recovery in Automation Plants
This article presents a research study that determined the optimal error recovery method from a cost standpoint. And, while this research study only considered cost in error recovery, it shows the potential value of error recovery planning in automation plants.
What Is a Load Bank and Why Do Manufacturers Need Them?
A load bank can be an important asset in a variety of industries. Load banks are stationary or portable tools that mimic the expected electrical load on a power source in a commercial or industrial setting.
Multi Property Optimization for Injection Moulding to Maintain Safety and Reduce Manufacturing Costs
The company's collaboration with Additive Flow for a particularly challenging project involving a metal and polymer over moulded component, ensured yet another successful outcome for Comeragh that will open up further opportunities in the future.
Lessons from World War II on Manufacturing and the COVID-19 Pandemic
A look at manufacturing and the COVID-19 pandemic shows the comparison to WWII is an apt one. From victory gardens to discussions of shared sacrifice to ramping up production of critical supplies, the parallels between the health crisis and WWII are hard to ignore.
Mitigating Supply Chain Risk through Bold Leadership, Transparency and Procurement
For example, in many organizations, different business units buy similar products from multiple
suppliers instead of buying everything from one supplier and benefiting from economies of scale.
Procurement can see that, but the rest of the organization can't.
In the Vacuum Workshop
In the semiconductor industry, cleanliness and precision are absolutely critical. Swiss vacuum specialist VAT therefore partnered up with maxon to develop a drive system for wafer processing.
50 Ways to Impact Your Business with AI
Sometimes the most difficult thing about AI is simply knowing where to start. Identifying potentially impactful use cases is one of the most cited roadblocks for organizations seeking to leverage AI in their business.
Production line flexibility - How to use modularization for food production increase
According to an industry survey, the majority of food manufacturing companies are expecting to increase production. However, the same study suggested automation does not offer enough flexibility to fulfil an increase in production.
New Laser Welding Process Monitoring Systems Ensure Data Traceability
Ensuring seamless laser weld quality control and manufacturing traceability, the monitors catch weld errors as they occur in real time, instead of reacting to defects downstream. This ultimately increases yield, improves quality, saves labor, and increases savings.
As The Electronics Manufacturing Industry Slowly Recovers From The Pandemic, What Can We Learn?
Within the realm of manufacturing, one thing is abundantly clear: supply chains are intrinsically tied and vulnerable to just about everything in our world today.
Improving Manufacturing Operations in Response to the Pandemic
Companies will need to quickly find ways to sustain their business, mitigate all supply chain risks, and be more flexible to the new environment. These requirements will drive a need for greater visibility and control over operations.
COVID-19 Accelerates Digitalization in Manufacturing But Data Silos Must Go!
When the manufacturing industry emerges out of the COVID-19 pandemic, we will see the rapid trend of digitalization. However, to achieve maximum success - this will only happen if manufacturers finally deal with the challenge of data silos!
Case Study - Reducing Automation System Risk with Simulation and Emulation
Increasing global competition and an awareness of the need to pivot away from on-site commissioning to safer and more cost-effective virtual methods are the main drivers behind a growing interest in industrial analytical simulation.
