Process Precision - How Motorised Equipment Aids Testing and Control in Manufacturing
PWC's UK Manufacturing Operations Pulse Survey 2021 found almost half of UK manufacturers are prioritizing robotic process automation over the next two years. Automated equipment can perform to exact requirements, making it inherently advantageous in testing and control.
No Manufacturing Work Shortage if Manufacturers Enroll and Engage Gen Zers
More than appearances, manufacturers must speak to the positivity of a diverse workforce. Gen Zers expect it, they demand it, and will tell friends to work for companies promoting a varied workforce on both Instagram and Tiktok.
The Role of RO in Industrial Manufacturing
When most people hear "reverse osmosis" (RO), their minds likely go to drinking water. While purifying drinking water is a significant use case for it, and arguably its most notable, RO has far broader applications.
Prestigious 140+ Year Old University Delivers Advanced Engineering and Technical Training With Method X

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?
Three Manufacturing Tips to Strengthen America's Competitiveness & Maintain National Security
Everything from pandemic production pivots to Suez Canal blockages shows the unpredictability of supply and demand. Unanticipated impacts to manufacturing processes are imminent, but there are three key considerations to mitigate the impact on business operations:
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.

FLIR Si1-LD - Industrial Acoustic Imaging Camera for Compressed Air Leak Detection
The FLIR Si1-LD is an easy-to-use acoustic imaging camera for locating and quantifying pressurized leaks in compressed air systems. This lightweight, one-handed camera is designed to help maintenance, manufacturing, and engineering professionals identify air leaks faster than with traditional methods. Built with a carefully constructed array of MEMS microphones for high sensitivity, the Si1-LD produces a precise acoustic image that visually displays ultrasonic information, even in loud, industrial environments. The acoustic image is overlaid in real time on a digital image, allowing you to accurately pinpoint the source of the sound, with onboard analytics which quantify the losses being incurred. The Si1-LD features a plugin that enables you to import acoustic images to FLIR Thermal Studio suite for offline editing, analysis, and advanced report creation. Field analysis and reporting can also be done using the FLIR Acoustic Camera Viewer cloud service. Transferring of images can be managed via memory stick or USB data cable. Through a regular maintenance routine, the FLIR Si1-LD can help facilities reduce their environmental impact and save money on utility bills.
