Mastering Powder Management in Metal Powder-Bed AM
We talk about "industrialisation" and "serial production." Then we manage one of the most critical variables in the entire process chain (the powder) like it's a static material that arrived with a certificate.
Engineering Innovation Through AI, Simulation, and Quality-Driven Design
In this interview, Viraj discusses how manufacturers can leverage digital engineering, simulation, and quality-by-design principles to accelerate innovation while building more reliable, efficient, and resilient products.
The Smart Factory: Less Waste, Less Downtime, More Control
The difference between a good manufacturing operation and a great one comes down to control: those who can manage their processes in real time stop reacting to problems and start getting ahead of them.
Why Warehouse Software Go-Lives Fail - and What Global Supply Chains Pay for It
The recommendations below apply to any warehouse management system implementation. I'll use SAP Extended Warehouse Management (SAP EWM) as my primary example, since that's where I spend most of my time.
Your Manufacturing Supply Chain Tech Implementation Went Live But No One Knows How To Use It
Months of planning, design sessions, data migration, integration work, testing, and executive updates. The platform is live. The project dashboard turns green. The software vendor confirms the system is working as designed. Then the harder question shows up.
7 Critical Design Challenges for High-Precision Gantry Automation Systems
Designing, manufacturing, and controlling a high-precision gantry is a complex, multidisciplinary challenge that requires deep expertise in structural mechanics, thermal behavior, mechatronics, and advanced motion control.
Harnessing AI to Revolutionize Bike Safety with Velo AI
By choosing Hellbender as its trusted hardware partner, Velo AI was able to reduce its development time, get its product to market, and execute on its core mission - creating safer streets for cyclists - sooner.
Why the Best Manufacturing Innovations Don't Start in the Lab, They Start in the Field
Manufacturers already rely on laboratory testing, warranty data, and customer feedback to improve future products. I believe field experience deserves a seat at that table as well.
How to Maintain Consistent Weld Strength During High-Speed Automated Production
The need for quality control doesn't disappear when facilities install robotic welding cells. High-speed automated weld penetration depends on thermal management, adaptive controls, continuous monitoring and nondestructive testing.
Industrial Flooring Upgrades: When Retrofitting Makes More Sense Than Full Replacement
Whether it's a mezzanine system or a ground-floor concrete slab, full replacement often means extended downtime, lost productivity, and significant labor costs.
NORD Powers Bulk Material Handling with Reliable, Robust Drive Solutions
NORD's reliable solutions for bulk goods accommodate a wide range of plant arrangements and offer various application-specific options for long service life, low maintenance, and excellent load capacity.
If the Headline Number on Your Monitoring System Is Spindle Uptime, You're Measuring the Wrong Thing
How OMW Corporation retired a homebuilt monitoring system, changed the vocabulary on their floor, gained 12% utilization across 43 machines, and turned a single customer meeting into $2.5M in new business.
The Value of Additive Manufacturing — When it Works, Why it Works
The fastest way to lose trust in AM is to apply it indiscriminately. The fastest way to unlock its value is to treat it like what it really is: a precise manufacturing tool with defined strengths, defined trade-offs, and a growing role in modern production systems.
Addressing Patch Management Challenges of IT/OT Convergence
Manufacturing facilities that understand the fundamental differences between IT and OT systems can implement best practices that protect critical assets and maintain operational continuity.
Workholding Device Manufacturer Eliminates Stockouts After 2-Month ERP Rollout
AirWeights, a Colorado-based manufacturer of vacuum workholding systems, went live with ERP software in just two months. "We went from constantly catching up and having to advertise lead times to our customers, to being in stock," says Jace Dispenza, Founder of AirWeights.
