Robots May Help Defuse Demographic Time Bomb in Japan, Germany
Anirban Nag for Bloomberg: Robots to offset negative impact of slower labor force growth. Emerging markets wont be so lucky, Moodys report says
APM 4.0 will sustain Industry 4.0
Dan Miklovic, LNS Research via Plant Services: On the road to smarter manufacturing, do not confuse sophistication with maturity.
Power to the People: How Humans are Heading Back to the Factory Floor
In response to consumer demand and competitive pressures, product variation is on the rise. That variation changes the manufacturing calculus somewhat, as the required variation and corresponding complexity means that the ability to think critically and independently and adjust to changing circumstances is a priority.
Cybersecurity in the Factory
Technology for Industrial Control Systems and SCADA are now available that allow for continuous monitoring of these critical systems. A baseline is created and any deviations can be alerted and acted upon.
Beyond Conveyors: Conveying a Quality Solution
Designing the optimal material handling systems requires a deep understanding of the product, process, and challenges inherent in the manufacturing process.
Maker Cities: If You Can Imagine It, You Can Build It
Peter Hirshberg and Marcia Kadanoff for US News:
Maker Cities are remaking America for the future.
Guidelines for implementation of Industry 4.0
KARLSRUHER INSTITUT FÃœR TECHNOLOGIE (KIT): Researchers develop guidelines for intelligent production and products
Industry 4.0, IIoT and Connected Manufacturing
The greatest benefit seems to be in complex control of the factory. A SCADA system is extremely useful for all of the workers on the production team. The operator has the main overview of the production in real time, the technologist is able to reconfigure the recipes from the office when itÂ's necessary, for maintenance it is important when and why the failures happened and the shift leader can check who is responsible for that.
Reining in on industrial automation: The benefits of cloud computing in the manufacturing industry
By embracing the cloud, manufacturers no longer simply collect data but instead, gain actionable insights from it. Whether its for quality improvement, sales forecasts or preventative maintenance, predictive analytics or machine learning can give manufacturers an edge over their competitors and possibly, a complete new service to sell.
Increased Accuracy and Fulfillment Rates Reduces Training Time and Speed of Products to Customers
Measuring the number of perfect picks, volume of picks, savings by replacing traditional RF guns are data points that allow 3PLs (third party logistics) to quantify both a rapid ROI (return on investment) and TCO (total cost of ownership)
Smart Factories to add $500 billion to the global economy in next 5 years
Often described as a building block of the 'Digital Industrial Revolution, a smart factory makes use of digital technologies including the Internet-of-Things, Big Data Analytics, Artificial Intelligence and Advanced Robotics to increase productivity, quality and flexibility.

Top Misconceptions About the IIoT
IIoT-ready Human Machine Interfaces (HMIs) allow manufacturers to take data from the floor and share it with a local or cloud-based server, where it can be used company-wide, regardless of the users location. The translation of machine data to actionable information allows companies to make cost-saving decisions and allocate resources more appropriately.
Elon Musk: Robot software will make Tesla worth as much as Apple
Jeremy C. Ownens for MarketWatch: Musk will put his machinery where his mouth is with Model 3, battery and solar panel production lines launching soon
Apple starting US tech manufacturing fund with $1 bn
MSN: Apple chief Tim Cook announced Apple is creating a fund to get more people in the US to do "advanced manufacturing," kicking it off with a billion dollars.
