Artificial Intelligence in Manufacturing
Modern systems are paving the way to allow our customers to make products people want in the way they want them, instead of making products and spending our time trying to make people want them.
Lean Manufacturing: Eliminate the 7 Wastes With Self-driving Vehicles
The 7 Wastes are tasks or processes that provide little to no added value to the product or to the user experience.
Webalo Launches No-Code App Generation Platform for IIoT
Chris J. Preimesberger for eWeek: Webalo 4.0 gives enterprise users the ability to quickly and automatically generate dynamic desktop and mobile persona-based apps using wizards and drop-down menus.
Is Google Glass Staging A Comeback?
Terri Hiskey for MinuteHack: Glass may have finally found its home, and last month we heard news that industrial companies, such as General Motors, GE Aviation, Boeing and Volkswagen, have all been using the smart glasses to help workers perform complex manual tasks.
Why Direct Drive?
To understand these benefits, we start with the basic concept of direct drive whereby the force of a motor is directly applied to a mechanism without any intermediate drive train such as a gearbox or toothed belt etc. The core working principles of direct drive motor technology is in essence based on the right hand rule of electromagnetism, whereby a current moving through a wound coil creates a magnetic field.
HPC Trends - Why the CFD Community Must Be 'Proactive' Not Reactive
In this article, we look at ways in which the world of HPC (High-performance computing) is approaching the latest disruptions and trends, and how the world of CFD (Computational Fluid Dynamics) must match this proactive rather than reactive stance.
Adidas is using robots to produce small-batch, local-market shoes
Greg Nichols for ZDNet: It's an early step in a bold experiment by a global retailer to use time-saving robots to design small-batch collections, a departure from the mass production methods employed by global shoe and apparel brands.
Field Logic Controllers (FLCs) expand control options for industrial environments
FLCs can be used in standalone applications or as a way to expand I/O without adding more I/O points to a PLC.
Technological Trends and Practical Examples of the Fourth Industrial Revolution
Demands for greater variety, lower cost, improved quality, and smaller batch sizes can turn a prosperous production into a fading one. Fully automated production cells can resolve the issue.
Veo Robotics raises $12 million to help machines and humans collaborate more efficiently
BÉRÉNICE MAGISTRETTI for VentureBeat: Sobalvarro and his team are trying to reduce the manual labor humans shoulder in industrial work settings, leaving the heavy lifting to the robots.
Apple and GE just put iOS inside Industry 4.0
Jonny Evans for ComputerWorld: Apple and GEs new agreement opens the door for further iOS deployment across industry infrastructure and puts Apple at the core of digital transformation.
Measures to Cope With Reversed Energy
A proper choice of an industrial power supply can already solve problems and error messages caused by reversed energy.
Cooperation between SICK and Silicon Software implements VisualApplets
With VisualApplets providing SICK with a wide range of new possibilities for application solutions, SICK's customer requirements can be adapted to their systems for a wider gamut of image processing applications.
Red Lion Case Study: Blizzard Ski
In addition to production metrics, manufacturing equipment statuses are also displayed. Operators or maintenance workers can quickly see and react if a machine is operational, being resupplied or out of service based on the icons and colors associate to the equipment on the display.
Makerbot Labs Is One Step Toward Open Source 3D Printing
Darren Orf for Popular Mechanics: Makerbot describes this new platform as a place, built for creators, who want to experiment with 3D printing but still have the bedrock of the platform to fall back on if need be.

ResinDek® TRIGARD® ESD ULTRA FOR HIGH-TRAFFIC ROBOTIC APPLICATIONS
To maximize the productivity of an autonomous mobile robot (AMR) or automatic guided vehicle (AGV) deployment, it's critical to create the optimal environment that allows the vehicles to perform at their peak. For that reason, Cornerstone Specialty Wood Products, LLC® (www.resindek.com) created the TriGard® ESD Ultra finish for its ResinDek® engineered flooring panels. The TriGard ESD Ultra finish is ideal for high-traffic robotic applications characterized by highly repetitive movement patterns and defined travel paths.
