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 Current State of Supply Chain Data Quality

The implementation of strategic data quality capabilities can make or break a business. Many businesses suffer the consequences of risks and excess costs without ever understanding the root cause to be poor data quality or integration.

Next-Gen Technologies to Navigate Key Shifts in Industrial Manufacturing

The multitude of challenges that manufacturers face today is accelerating the need to adapt process innovation, embrace technology, and digitalize operations. Transformation is essential for manufacturers to become more resilient, agile, productive, and profitable.

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.

Scaling Up Production, Fast - How Manufacturers Can Increase Productivity to Meet Growing Demand

The benefits of automation are widely known, and most manufacturers aim to incorporate it into production to some degree. However, many of these targets have so far only resulted in plans, pilots or small scale automation projects.

Securing the OT edge with SASE

Manufacturers have become increasingly reliant on cloud-based resources, such as Software-as-a-Service (SaaS) applications and data migrating from the data center to multi-cloud environments. This requires a new model for secure network access.

One Hour Makes All the Difference: Automate Quickly and Effectively With AI

Automation helps companies achieve greater flexibility and planning reliability, even in the case of multi-variant production. One factor that deters many companies from switching to automated processes, however, is time.

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.

Is now the time for Manufacturers to accelerate the Digital Transformation process?

Those manufacturers that digitize their operations will gain significant advantages, and those that don't will have a more difficult time catching up.

Digital Transformation Roadmap for Manufacturing Industry

The process of creating a digital transformation roadmap in manufacturing can look very different for each organization. It very much depends on where exactly the company stands in its digital journey.

Managing Obsolescence in Industry 4.0 - Obsolete Doesn't Mean Game Over

Obsolescence is the natural consequence of continuous advances in technology. As such, it is impossible to eliminate it completely. However, it is possible to manage it strategically to minimize its negative impact on your business.

Purpose, Productivity, and Profitability - The Confluence of Company Sustainability.

The direct influence of a workforce in determining an organization's purpose can be as much, and, sometimes even more of a reason for an individual to enthusiastically and wholeheartedly work at a company as the financial compensation they receive.

How Does the New Generation Memory - DDR5 - Change Things?

With more and more data comes the need for storage and fast access which means that technology like DDR5 has never been more important.

Protecting Workers from Manufacturing Hazards

Often robots have enough mass, speed, and inertia that any contact with humans creates the primary hazard; process driven hazards, for example sparks/splatter and UV light in a robotic welding process becomes the secondary hazard.

3 Ways to Improve Industry 4.0 OEE

Overall equipment effectiveness (OEE) has been a leading manufacturing performance metric for decades. As Industry 4.0 has taken off, manufacturers now have a range of new tools and techniques that can improve their OEE scores.
