How I Stopped Worrying and Learned to Love the Gateway
The Four Benefits of Using a Gateway in Your IoT Design
Virtual Reality in Manufacturing
In manufacturing, a MR system can indicate the name and attribution of parts by displaying virtual labels overlaying the objects. The system can guide an assembler, showing virtual arrows as to where the part goes into an assembly.
Global Supply Chain Requires Demand-Driven Real-Time Adaptive Supplier Monitoring
Without good contracts, a manufacturer may be fully exposed to liability - without protection and legal recourse against the responsible party - and at the mercy of the laws of other jurisdictions.
A3 to Kick Off Automate 2017 with White Paper on Jobs in the Automation Age
The white paper explores the impact of automation on the ever-evolving job market and the growing shortage of skilled employees with experience and training in advanced technologies. A3 examines the types of jobs that are going unfilled and reviews workforce development initiatives, including education, apprenticeships, and on-the-job training that will fill labor shortages and support ongoing economic growth and productivity.
Staying Rich Without Manufacturing Will Be Hard
