Why Manufacturers Are Focusing on Cognitive and Predictive Asset Management
With off shoring trend reversing in most countries, on shoring with smart plants are becoming increasingly popular choice. Comparesoft studied the key reasons why manufacturers are adopting cognitive and predictive maintenance strategies in their smart plants.
OESH Shoes - Manufacturing Story
Casey created a 3D printer that uses pellets instead of filament. This was no easy feat, and the design within the pellet feeder is the "secret sauce" that finally enabled Casey to develop her perfect soles, which are used in their line of Athena and Artemis sandals.
The Impact of the IoT on Energy Efficiency (Part 3 of 5)
One distinct benefit of the IoT is that it's generally available to every area of the economy, and this particularly holds true for energy efficiency improvements.
When Should You Re-Manufacture or Refurbish Equipment?
In most cases, re-manufactured hardware is better because its closer to new. That doesnt mean refurbished hardware is bad, just that you should remain aware of the differences.
TSN in my Network: Why, What and How?
Time Sensitive Networking (TSN) offers network convergence and will enable effective implementations of Industrial Internet-of-the-Things set-ups.
Five Myths About Robotic Vision Systems
An efficient manufacturer must get products in and out of a cell quickly and reliably. Vision systems paired with robotic operations can put an operation at a competitive advantage by providing opportunities to make more and streamline the process
The Manufacturing Capitals of the World
RS Components have created an interactive graphic, The Manufacturing Capitals of the World. which reveals who came out on top in 2010, 2016 and who is expected to dominate the sector in 2020.
Robot welding: More efficiency for programming and equipment fabrication

Manufacturing Transportation and Logistics 101
Perhaps more than any other industry, manufacturing logistics requires a fluid and flexible model. Manufacturers-and, consequently, their transportation and logistics partners-need to be flexible enough to respond to sudden fluctuations in the marketplace.
Injection Molding Design & Process Optimization
This approach is superior to standard molding procedures because of the high level of scientific control utilized through upfront Design of Experiments (DoE), flow analysis, process monitoring, and quality control that can quickly detect and correct any process variations.
The Benefits of Lean Manufacturing
Some of the challenges that manufacturers face to accomplish lean manufacturing are introducing a manufacturing cost reduction model; the optimization of material and product flow; site planning and expansion; the design of a risk management system
Hand Loads: Cost Effective Solutions for Complex Plastic Parts
It's important to note that hand loads require extra labor for installation and removal. While this may skew the cost/benefit analysis, it may also be the only way to meet the customers needs.
IDC Manufacturing Insights
It's clear that the manufacturing industry is transforming, and although automation may be reducing the need for some tasks, overall we do expect the manufacturing industry and employment to increase. 2018 is shaping up to be a good year for manufacturers.
How Green Has Manufacturing Become Over the Years?
If manufacturers continue to make their processes more sustainable and consumers continue to support their environmental efforts, perhaps well one day live in a truly sustainable society.
