Strategies for Addressing 3 Emerging Challenges in the Manufacturing Supply Chain
Over the past few years, several significant obstacles have emerged for manufacturing supply chains. Here are three of the most pressing of these and what strategies could address them.
It's time for change - Technology essential to tackle climate change
To pursue a sustainable future, manufacturers need to find options to increase energy efficiency. Industrial robotics is an ideal way to help improve sustainability and minimize the environmental impact of manufacturing activities.
Location-Based Automation- Why a Digital Twin of Moving Things is the Missing Piece for Successful Industrial Automation
This article outlines why the promising concept of the digital twin has often fallen short of its goal of end-to-end automation and connectivity.
Managing Employee Shortages with IIoT
Manufacturers are facing a troubling scenario: the need to maintain production levels in the midst of the largest workforce shakeup in our lifetime. The Industrial Internet of Things (IIoT) provides a highly effective, flexible and cost-efficient solution.
How factories Can Build Capacity and Improve Manufacturing Processes with ML
Without making wholesale production changes, factories can improve process efficiency with machine learning (ML). ML can increase production capacity by up to 20% while lowering material consumption rates by 4%.
How to manage a complex network of new and legacy equipment
With rapid advancement in automated and connected technologies, managing both new and old equipment simultaneously can be a challenging balancing act.
What Does Digital Manufacturing Mean and How Can We Move Toward It?
Siemens used IoT sensors and data analytics to create a digital twin of the factory. By analyzing and adjusting various parts of this model, the facility could see where inefficiencies were and which changes would have the greatest impact.
Lessons to Learn from Intel's $20 Billion Manufacturing Investment
The Intel announcement is a recognition of the value of U.S.-based manufacturing, and the business will support a very long supply chain of semiconductor assembly tool designs and manufacturing in the U.S.
Overcome Automation Challenges to Create a Better Smart Factory
Manufacturers must know what challenges they face and how to overcome them to make the most of these investments. Here are the most common automation challenges and how to address them.
The challenges of mass customization in manufacturing
Smart manufacturers have already been aware that mass customization can be the key to a profitable business, as it helps boost customer satisfaction and win brand loyalty.
To Overcome Capacity Constraints, Industry 4.0 Implementations Must Follow These 3 Steps
The benefits of industry 4.0 in manufacturing are clear, but unlocking them requires organizations to overcome capacity constraints. The keys are in these change management strategies.
6 AI Driven Ideas to boost Asset Performance Management
Asset Performance Management software must evolve into knowledge hubs that not only deal with monitoring, but also gathering data from other dependent systems to provide much deeper insights and greater control.
7 Improvements to Manufacturing Processes - and How They Affect the Bottom Line
New technologies and processes must have a demonstrable impact on a company's bottom line to make a convincing argument for adoption. In that spirit, here are seven recent manufacturing process improvements and how they affect profits.
The Value of Cloud in Manufacturing
Whether it be hybrid, multi, or on-premise, cloud technology has the ability to significantly increase productivity and scale processes throughout the entire organization.
Carbon Offsetting for Manufacturing Facilities
Given the advanced state of anthropogenic climate change and widespread awareness of its human impact, it's time for manufacturing to adopt carbon offsetting practices.
