Adjusting M&A Strategies in Response to Changes in Global Trade Policies and Tariffs
Many of the deals announced in the first quarter were initiated last year, during a period of growing optimism driven by the prospect of a business-friendly US administration. However, recent trade policies have dampened optimism, and uncertainty has returned to the market.
Custom linear motion solution drives Swiss river restoration research project
The project required smooth, uninterrupted motion across the record-long dimensions, which the Institute achieved through collaboration with linear motion manufacturer Thomson Industries and automation expert König Lineartechnik.
AI-What It Really Is and What It Actually Does - A Developer's Perspective
From estimating and scheduling to purchase order management and analytics, AI is revolutionizing ERP for packaging manufacturing. This article provides a perspective on you may not have heard before in exploring what AI is, and what it can do for you.
Circular Manufacturing Sets New Standards for Material Life Cycle Innovation
Efforts are also underway to use normally discarded items as the foundation for new products or to change material innovations to make things easier to break down or recycle.
In the industrial maintenance space, knowledge is key for employee retention
An investment in ongoing education is really an investment in your employees, and it can significantly boost engagement, morale, and retention.
This Is the Most User-Friendly Manufacturing Software, Says Manufacturing Consultant
Tim Grant, Founder of Business Solution Providers manufacturing consultancy, has spearheaded hundreds of software implementation projects. Here are some of the insights he's gathered over the years.
Energy Efficiency in Manufacturing and Data Management
Energy consumption is growing exponentially, while energy creation is increasing only incrementally. This imbalance requires innovative solutions. At Delta, we tackle this challenge from both sides-enhancing energy creation while optimizing energy consumption.
Innovating Manufacturing and Supply Chains with Agentic AI
Just as companies like GM and Amazon have leveraged AI in their factories and warehouses, respectively, to enhance production and streamline operations, businesses can now apply advanced AI agents for even greater efficiencies and profits.
Advances in Preventive Maintenance Are Refining the Manufacturing Supply Chain in 2025
The need for innovative care and repair technologies grows as uptime and reliability become larger concerns. Recognizing which solutions offer the greatest potential for a facility is the first step to optimizing machinery throughout the supply chain in 2025.

Model TR1 Tru-Trac
The Model TR1 Tru-Trac® linear measurement solution is a versatile option for tracking velocity, position, or distance over a wide variety of surfaces. An integrated encoder, measuring wheel, and spring-loaded torsion arm in one, compact unit, the Model TR1 is easy to install. The spring-loaded torsion arm offers adjustable torsion load, allowing the Model TR1 to be mounted in almost any orientation - even upside-down. The threaded shaft on the pivot axis is field reversible, providing mounting access from either side. With operating speeds up to 3000 feet per minute, a wide variety of configuration options - including multiple wheel material options - and a housing made from a durable, conductive composite material that minimizes static buildup, the Model TR1 Tru-Trac® is the ideal solution for countless applications.
