4 of the Most Important Safety Practices in Automated Factories
The manufacturing sector increasingly relies on factory automation to reach targets and keep quality levels high. However, no matter if a facility is fully or partially automated, there are essential safety practices to follow. Here are some of them.
Keys to Building More Autonomous Systems Into Manufacturing
Both autonomous manufacturing and hybrid autonomous manufacturing introduce a level of automation never seen before. The system does all the work, with machines and technology as a strong foundation, and people are relegated to monitoring and support.
2022 Online Training Trends: What to Expect in Safety and Beyond
Despite changes in working conditions, employers were still responsible for administering all types of training, from safety to job-specific onboarding and even general HR training. Perhaps unsurprisingly, many turned to online training for a solution.
3D Printing New Parts for a Classic Ferrari
For this particular project, Dan Nobles and Slice Engineering decided carbon fiber nylon filament would be the best option. Engineered for its intense durability and stability, a carbon fiber nylon material would be capable of handling the high-heat experienced in an engine.
Using Technology to Combat the Skilled Labor Shortage
Successful manufacturing companies are combatting the skilled labor shortage by investing in automation and software to complement their existing workforce, meet production requirements, and attract new talent.
New Solutions for Materials Manufacturing Reduce Environmental Impact in Construction
While zero-emissions equipment and waste reduction strategies are crucial, sustainability is complex, involving far more factors than construction work itself. The manufacturers that produce building materials must also improve for the industry to become truly sustainable.
Variable speed drives: the dark side
According to ABB, the power and automation company, the addition of a VSD can reduce energy consumption by as much as 60 per cent. This means that, if a 90-kW motor in continuous operation is combined with a VSD, financial savings can amass to over £9,000 per year.
Crushing the Bullwhip Effect in Your Supply Chain with Inventory Optimization
Building raw material and semi-finished inventory is a typical management response to help ensure supply chains can deliver customer orders on time, but it doesn't always provide the relief needed and carries a lot of inventory costs with it.
Functionally Safe Positioning with the LDRA tool suite
Achieving functional safety with legacy software is bound to be a challenge, especially when it represents your first venture into such a certification process.
Copper Shortages Present New Manufacturing Challenges in 2022
While the refined copper market had a 142,000-ton surplus in 2020, experts predict that to fall to a 219,000-ton deficit by 2025. This shortage has already started to take effect and will have increasingly severe consequences as it continues.
It's Not Just Consumers Who Prefer To Buy Online
Gartner found last year B2B buyers now only spend 17 percent of their time meeting with potential suppliers and vendors when deciding a purchase. Virtual selling via digital channels and commerce to price to quote (CPQ) techology is predominating.
Human Machine Interface (HMI) and its Importance in Industrial Automation
Human Machine Interface; in short "HMI" is the means by which an operator can interact or control the machine or the entire process. It all started with hard wired push buttons and indicator lights on a control panel.
Beyond IT/OT Convergence: Enabling Flexible Process Automation from the Shop Floor
KINEXON CRO Mehdi Bentanfous sheds light on why location-based process automation might just be the answer to common IT/OT tensions when it comes to digital transformation in complex industrial environments.
