The Promise & Risks of Physical AI's Self-Optimizing Factories & Human-AI Teaming
Physical AI is the difference between an algorithm that predicts a machine failure and an intelligent robot that can physically inspect the machine, identify the fault, and adapt its operation to prevent a shutdown.
IDS: See. Align. Place.
For both machines, the manufacturer relies on industrial cameras from the USB 3 uEye CP series from IDS Imaging Development Systems to ensure maximum accuracy, speed and process control. These systems are already in high-volume use across the Asian electronics market.
Key Considerations for Maximizing Manufacturing Efficiency
It's true that advanced simulation tools have helped improve the efficiency and effectiveness of robotic workcell design and path planning, but it still remains an incredibly time consuming process.
Giving Blue-Collar Workers a Voice in Problem Solving - Without Slowing Production
Blue-collar workers interact daily with machines, materials, and processes, giving them a unique vantage point. Yet in many plants, their voices go unheard because reporting issues is slow, informal, or buried under paperwork.
Why edge AI alleviates the need for "flexible" data centers
The future of sustainable AI isn't about managing massive centralized loads more cleverly-it's about distributing intelligence to where it's actually needed, with the energy efficiency that comes naturally from edge computing.
Natural Cleaner Manufacturer Cuts Delivery Times with Smarter Planning
Ymani Efunyale started making her own cleaning product after her toddler experienced a bad asthma attack triggered by a store-bought cleaner. Today, she ships her products all over the US-and here's how she manages it all.
Maximizing Operation Efficiency through Manufacturing Processes
Cross-functional collaboration isn't just helpful, it's the backbone of a smooth new product introduction. You can have the best design on paper, but if engineering, operations and supply chain aren't aligned from day one, you're setting yourself up for late-stage surprises.
Case Study: Affordable Dual-View Microscope System
Zaber's Nucleus® microscopy modules share a common control protocol mounting features, and optical and electrical interfaces, enabling them to be combined in ways that are simply not possible with other microscopes.
Talking PACK EXPO Las Vegas with Encoder Products Company (EPC)
We're featuring live demos of our newest encoders, including the LP1 Accu-LaserPro™ - a slip-free, high-accuracy laser encoder designed for packaging lines. Visitors will see how EPC encoders reduce downtime, simplify integration, and deliver long-lasting performance.
Driving Supply Chain Innovation Through AI and Process Optimization
AI and data analytics are game changers for the manufacturing industry's demand and shop floor agility. My team is currently developing an AI model that identifies irregular demand patterns and updates itself.
PACK EXPO 2025 Product Preview
PACK EXPO 2025 takes place September 29th - October 1st in Las Vegas, Nevada. The Exhibit hall floor will be loaded with new products and services. Here is a preview of some things to look forward to at this years event.
BigRep ALTRA 280, the Ultimate High-Temperature Industrial 3D Printer
The ALTRA 280 was engineered to solve a challenge that's persisted for years: reliably and affordably producing large, complex parts in both engineering-grade and high-performance polymers.
Talking PACK EXPO Las Vegas with NORD DRIVESYSTEMS
We're bringing the full package. Our booth will showcase complete drive solutions, including gear units, motors, and VFDs, all designed for high-volume, high-throughput environments. A highlight will be the launch of a new hygienic, caustic washdown solution.
Prioritizing Network Investment in Manufacturing
Industry 4.0 is driving major gains in efficiency, automation, and innovation. But there's a flip side: That progress depends on fast, secure, always-on connectivity. Manufacturing, in particular, is an interesting case study.
Talking PACK EXPO Las Vegas with maxon and Parvalux
As the packaging industry continues to evolve, maxon and Parvalux remain committed to delivering motion solutions that are not only precise and reliable but also adaptable to the dynamic needs of modern automation.
