Everything You Need to Know On Industry 4.0
On a broader scale; IoT, combined with Cloud Computing, Mobile and Digital technologies will enable an integrated end-to-end process in the supply chain the likes of which we've never seen before.
Chain, Chain, Chain
As consumers and participants in the supply chain demand greater transparency, blockchain has the potential to transform how information about a food product flows from farm to fork to ensure quality and safety by adding greater visibility and efficiency to the process.
Industry Cultural Resistance is Biggest Enemy of Automation, Says New IQPC Survey
Very few (less than 5%) of the 430 respondents surveyed have established an intelligent enterprise (IE) and nearly 35% either hadn't begun or had no plans to establish IE technologies such as AI and intelligent automation.
3 Ways IoT is Disrupting the Supply Chain
Once viewed as the latest IT fad, the IoT is now gaining real traction as a legitimate platform business connectivity - and tech-savvy companies are already reaping the benefits.
Successful Digital Transformation in Industry 4.0 Starts With Human Operators
Human Machine Interface (HMI) is present when human interaction with an automated device becomes necessary. HMI is present now more than ever due to the need for more reliable hardware, higher data security, and efficiency.
More Mistakes That Manufacturers Make
Last year, I wrote about the Common Mistakes That Growing Manufacturers Make (June 2017). Well, here are a few more examples of how manufacturers can avoid serious problems and reduce risks, costs, and streamline their business processes.
Axiomtek and FANUC America Case Study: Machining Simulator
The main purpose of the Machining Simulator is to promote learning about manufacturing in a classroom setting. Each simulator reacts exactly like a real machine and allows students to design, create CAD/CAM models and command the machine tool to produce simulated end product
Renishaw Reduces Machining Time for Aerospace Impeller Manufacturer
If the workpiece datum of a finished part is off-centre, the impeller must be submitted for design analysis, in which a designer reviews the component and decides whether it can be used. Each analysis costs approximately $66,900 per part
SME Publishes Second of Three Smart Manufacturing Reports to Encourage Adoption of Emerging Technologies
The Smart Manufacturing Report series from SME addresses the necessity and advantages of moving to a smart facility to thrive in an ever-increasingly competitive environment. Update - 2nd Report Now Available
Why You Need MindSphere in Your Facility
One of the reasons I am excited about the Siemens MindSphere Platform is that it has the potential to be disruptive the same way the iPhone was.
Manufacturing Automation & SCADA

Partnership for China 2025: RISONG and CENIT
China has long since ceased to be the "workbench of the world". In the manufacturing industry, rising wages and the "China 2025" development program are constantly accelerating the demand for automation solutions.
5 Ways Robotics Are Being Used in Smart Manufacturing
Like it or not, robots aren't leaving the manufacturing industry any time soon. In reality, manufacturers will use more robots as the technology continues to enter the mainstream.
McKinsey Maps 400+ AI Use Cases; Finds Trillions in Potential Value
Application of advanced AI (defined as deep learning models) in manufacturing and supply chain have the potential to create $1.2-2 Trillion in annual economic value.
The Future of Manufacturing is Smart
For decades, we have seen jobs in manufacturing disappearing, but now the jobs are beginning to come back, because technology is helping to produce high-quality goods in the U.S. as inexpensively as in Asia.
