Augmented Intelligence in Machine Vision - is Furthering Human Intelligence More Effective Than Replacing It?

Augmented intelligence is similar to artificial intelligence in that it uses machine learning algorithms to enhance defect detection. However, instead of aiming to replace human intelligence, augmented intelligence aims to build upon it.

Robotics In Manufacturing: Threat or Opportunity?

The use of robotics in manufacturing has grown consistently over the past decade. A recent report from the Association for Advancing Automation revealed that North America saw a record in robot sales in 2022, with the number of robots ordered up 11% from the previous year.

Five Ways Visual AI Increases Profitability in Manufacturing

The problem with traditional surveillance camera systems is that they are typically used only passively or reactively, i.e., video images are inconsistently viewed and-more often than not-after a safety, security, or quality-related event has taken place.

Machine Shop Robots Get Real

To better understand the benefits of cobot automation and how it works on the shop floor, we spoke to two leading providers of automated tools to small shops targeting two of the most time consuming and difficult to staff processes, quality control and welding.

It's All Connected: Care, Collaboration, and the Cloud

When it comes to MedTech, data is the gamechanger. Whether it is patient outcomes or manufacturing excellence, data holds the key to a new era in manufacturing - and with it, the Cloud. It is the future of MedTech.

Could Energy-Harvesting Technology Power IoT Devices of the Future?

It's particularly challenging to be too reliant on battery-powered IoT devices in industries like manufacturing and logistics. Many factories now have 24/7 operations, meaning there are no feasible downtime periods for recharging.

Predictive Quality Analytics in Manufacturing: How AI and Machine Learning are Transforming the Industry

With predictive analytics quality management, manufacturers may now identify and avoid quality issues before they arise by utilizing cutting-edge technology like AI and machine learning (ML), which has significantly improved productivity and profitability.

The 8 Wastes of Lean Manufacturing
