ELECTRONICS SUPPLY CHAIN CHALLENGES
Strategic Sourcing is about investing in alternate sources and deep supply-based analytics to squeeze every available part out of the worldwide supply.
Bringing AI to Electronics Assembly Inspection
Adding automated decision-support to visual inspection helps speed inspection rates, improve end-to-end product quality, and provides more qualitative product evaluation to ensure manufacturing processes are repeatable and traceable.
Key Advantages Of Permanent Magnet Motors
You will find permanent magnet motors in any number of appliances in your daily life, from toothbrushes to mobility solutions; but what exactly are they and what are their advantages?
Keys to Building More Autonomous Systems Into Manufacturing
Both autonomous manufacturing and hybrid autonomous manufacturing introduce a level of automation never seen before. The system does all the work, with machines and technology as a strong foundation, and people are relegated to monitoring and support.
New Solutions for Materials Manufacturing Reduce Environmental Impact in Construction
While zero-emissions equipment and waste reduction strategies are crucial, sustainability is complex, involving far more factors than construction work itself. The manufacturers that produce building materials must also improve for the industry to become truly sustainable.
Crushing the Bullwhip Effect in Your Supply Chain with Inventory Optimization
Building raw material and semi-finished inventory is a typical management response to help ensure supply chains can deliver customer orders on time, but it doesn't always provide the relief needed and carries a lot of inventory costs with it.
It's Not Just Consumers Who Prefer To Buy Online
Gartner found last year B2B buyers now only spend 17 percent of their time meeting with potential suppliers and vendors when deciding a purchase. Virtual selling via digital channels and commerce to price to quote (CPQ) techology is predominating.
Choosing Between Variable Speed Drives and Soft Starters
One of the highest areas of energy consumption for electric motors is the start-up cycle, as accelerating up to the necessary speed requires a lot of power. Soft starters and VSDs are great ways to reduce and manage energy usage during these periods.
The Future of Supply Chains Post-Pandemic
Wondering how to solve supply chain problems? Leaders should ask these three questions to uncover supply chain strategy opportunities.
Robot Solution for Automating the Lettuce Harvest
The lettuce's outer, or 'wrapper', leaves will be mechanically removed to expose the stem. Machine vision and artificial intelligence are then used to identify a precise cut point on the stem to neatly separate the head of lettuce.
The New Supply Chain Issues Can't Be Handled the Old Way
Supply shortages, cybersecurity threats, and a lack of worker digital skills are the top three challenges faced by manufacturers, according to an IDC survey in November 2021.
6 Emerging Solutions for Industrial Noise Control
Managing an industrial facility means dealing with several hazards. While some of these risks, like repetitive motion strains and machine collisions, may be obvious, some are less evident. Noise control, for example, often goes overlooked in industrial safety.
How Manufacturers Can Deal With Supply Chain Issues and Still Grow
New orders hit a 16-month low in October 2021, according to the Institute for Supply Management (ISM). Similarly, 26 commodities were in short supply, some for more than a year. However, despite these setbacks, manufacturers still have a chance to grow.
Minimizing Supply Chain Losses From Climate Change
Supply chains and the climate are more intricately linked than many may realize. Just eight global supply chains are responsible for more than 50% of greenhouse gas emissions.
2021 Top Article - Quality in the Era of COVID-19
Every day in 2020 has been somewhat of a surprise, but probably the biggest surprise of all has been how well manufacturers and quality teams have navigated all of the new rules, restrictions, PPE requirements and product mix changes that emerged.
