The Earth's environment is in code-red status, but new digital solutions can meet the challenge.
Plant controller systems based on static models are not responsive enough to adapt to changes and prescribe actions to insure optimal outcomes. As a result, set points are adjusted every now and then by operators who hunt for good conditions.
Powering Additive Manufacturing with an Environmental and Social Impact Commitment
Structured ESG and strategic, measurable sustainability programs are unlocking the deep value behind "doing well (profitability) by doing good (sustainability)."

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.
How to Conserve Water in Your Manufacturing Process
There are many specific actions you can take to conserve water during your manufacturing processes, and the first step is finding and fixing unwanted leaks in your equipment and machines.
Supply chain uncertainty gives workers a chance to shine
Though most manufacturers have long believed that people are maxed out, and when it comes to productivity, manual assembly lines are as optimized as possible, new technology is challenging that belief structure.
