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%.
Determining if a Digital Twin is right for your Manufacturing Operation
Q&A with Chris Nicholson, CEO of Pathmind. A digital twin is at once capable of simulating things that have never happened before, as well as mirroring a real, underlying physical reality and monitoring its performance.
Leverage the Edge - the Benefits of Processing Data at the Edge, Not the Cloud
The edge is an essential layer of the manufacturing technology stack. Machines on the factory floor collect vast amounts of raw data from various sources using numerous protocols, which all needs to be processed quickly to gain actionable insight.
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.
Why Combining Your HMI & PLC Is the Smarter Move
While PLCs control mechanisms, electronics, and other low-level devices, HMIs empower operators with visualization and touch controls. Together, HMIs and PLCs pave the way for efficient and flexible industrial workflows.
Applying ISA-95 in an Industry 4.0 world
Given the criticality of usable data at scale for Industry 4.0, many manufacturers have turned to ISA-95-probably the most commonly recognized data-modeling standard around the world-for guidance.
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.
