Achieving Plant Resiliency - Automation Technologies That Can Make Production More Effective
According to a Deloitte global survey, 94 per cent of executives in industrial companies consider digital transformation a top priority, but only 14 per cent believe their factories are ready for this big change.
How to Break Free From the Dependence on Intuition and Unique Skills in Maintenance Work
Why does maintenance work tend to become narrowly focused so that it becomes virtually inaccessible to most people?
Why AGVs Can Be The Solution in Logistics
AGVs (automated guided vehicles) are essential tools in the current commercial and industrial transformation. But what challenges do they need to address?
Successfully Implement a Cobot into your Operations: Step 2 - What Role Do Integrators Play In This Process?
An integrator will definitely get the job done, but beware of a few potential pitfalls. Not all integrators are familiar with cobots. Those who treat the project like an industrial robot can negate many of a cobot's benefits.
Project Modeling: A New Way to Think of CPQ Software for Large Engineer-to-Order Manufacturers
Creating accurate project proposals takes a lot of time and resources. You have to gather information from lots of different departments and people. There are a couple ways this can go from there.
The Machine Control Architecture That Adapts to Ever Changing Market Requirements in the IoT Era
These success stories seek to highlight the industry-level challenges faced, the resulting automation and motion control requirements that need to be addressed, the results that can be achieved and the key platform strategy.
Lack of Automation is Holding Additive Back
Additive Manufacturing (AM) has the potential to rewrite the economics of production. It offers the ability to create more complex geometries and structures than is possible with traditional methods, enables greater efficiencies and performance.
Accelerating Digital Transformation to Support Post-Pandemic Growth
We have reached a tipping point to reengineer our end-to-end supply chains. Resilience across the entire value chain is critical. You must have the systems in place and ensure there is no over-dependence on any one partner, country, or region.
To Adopt Industry 4.0, We Must Look to the Lighthouses
Recognized by the World Economic Forum (WEF), Lighthouse facilities can also act as a guiding light for the manufacturing industry, as it navigates the technologies of Industry 4.0. But what makes a Lighthouse factory, and what can other manufacturers learn from them?
Transforming Workplace Training With the Most Effective Digital and Augmented Reality Tools
With skill gaps growing wider and continued predictions of future job vacancies, manufacturers need to place employee skilling at the top of their strategic operating plans if they're going to maintain a productive workforce and compete on a global scale.
NORD MAXXDRIVE Industrial Gear Units: Built for the Toughest Applications
Rugged, reliable, and thermally optimized, NORD's industrial gear units are ready to take on the most demanding industrial drive technology requirements.
How to Make Sense of Big Data - RTUs and Process Control Applications
Deploying RTUs on industrial assets is an important element of capturing, interpreting and using big data from an industrial process. In this article, Jean Burton, technical sales support manager at Ovarro looks at how RTUs play a key role in accessing big data.
What Will Industrial Equipment Plants Look Like in the Next Decade?
The warehouses and industrial equipment plants of tomorrow will look different than they do today. Manufacturing technology continues to evolve as companies look to reduce their costs without sacrificing the overall quality of their products and services.
Delivering IoT-Centric Factory Automation with Wi-Fi HaLow Technology
Assessing the health of capital equipment used to produce and move these goods minimizes cost repairs, downtime and outages. Businesses gain a big picture of the logistics chain using wireless sensors that provide data on the location of high-value cargo.
The Impact of AI and Machine Learning Technologies in Manufacturing
New data- and ML-based business models will become more commonplace, so early adopters will have a competitive advantage. Machine learning will happen both in the cloud and on the edge, i.e., directly on or next to production machines and sensors.
