Additive Manufacturing - New Frontiers for Production & Validation
AM has enabled concurrent engineering―where all relevant departments can be engaged early in the product development process. Concurrent engineering replaces traditional "over-the-wall" product development, where design iterations could be delayed by weeks.
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.
Private 5G Connectivity and AI Technologies Accelerate the Transformation From Automation to Autonomy
This article looks at private 5G (known as P5G) and how it supports advanced and emerging technologies, including AI cameras, enabling manufacturers to drive more functionality closer to the edge.
Abingdon School UK Teaches 21st Century Skills With Makerbot 3D Printers
As schools look to bridge the skills gap in the workforce, 21st century skills like 3D design, design thinking, and CAD will be more critical now than ever before.
1st African Material Handling Warehouse Automation Company to Exhibit at MODEX 2022
Recently, Simon Armanious, based currently in Canada, shared more about the Egyptian company and why the timing for growing the North American distribution channel is ideal.
What Continuous Improvement Looks Like in Manufacturing
Manufactures that are able to focus in with laser precision on developing and maintaining a robust continuous improvement process will keep their competitive edge.
Mitigating Vendor & Supplier Risks in the Manufacturing Industry
For manufacturers, now is the time to build on their competitive advantages to accelerate economic recovery and build long-lasting relationships. However, this needs to be balanced with a robust risk mitigation strategy.
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.
Increasing Demand for Medical 3D Printed Parts Requires Effective Finishing Methods
As the implementation of advanced manufacturing methods like AM increases, it is important to investigate and apply production methods that can produce intricate, yet reliable parts quickly and cost-effectively.
Adopting These Trends Will Help Manufacturers Reach the Future of Work
To keep pace with economic demands in an increasingly competitive landscape, manufacturers must aggressively adopt strategies that address the industry's generational skills gap and accelerate digital transformation.
Improving Maintenance in Manufacturing
For those in high volume, low margin industries such as food and beverage or automotive parts manufacturing, preventative maintenance may be wrongly seen as unattainable, due to perceived high upfront costs.
Simplified CMM Inspection Provides a Flexible Approach to More Productive Quality Control
The simplified operator menu lists all the available inspection programs and the exact position the part should be placed on the machine table for inspection, giving operators the confidence to perform measurement tasks in just a few clicks.
5x5 Why - a Better Way to Resolve Supplier Related Quality Concerns
From my experience, relational governance inevitably creates an atmosphere of loyalty and trust much more easily than one that is adversarial, focusing only on punitive actions when contractual agreements are not met.
Now is the time for Manufacturers to Invest in Safety and Compliance
Without being extremely precise about what you are doing throughout the entire manufacturing process you can put people at risk. So following regulations and compliance standards are crucial for manufacturers - from back-end processes to production to the final product.
ABB Achieves Significant Improvements for Iot Condition Monitoring and Predictive Maintenance With Cassia Networks
After launching their successful digital solution ABB Ability™, the multinational discovered that the wired connections were not efficiently scaling with their platform. These connections were limited by short-range, one-to-one Bluetooth connections using mobile devices.
