How Software Redefines Planar Motor Technology
In this interview, Hans-Peter Kraft explains why software plays a far greater role in defining how transport systems perform, evolve, and create value over time - and why the future of planar motor technology will be driven by software innovation.
How Much of Today's AI on the Plant Floor Is Just Yesterday's Software Wearing a New Label
The concern is that some industry conversations fail to distinguish between genuine innovation and long-established automation, leaving plant and operations executives to make investment decisions without enough clarity to evaluate what they're actually buying.
Breaking the Automation Ceiling: How Hyperautomation Solves Manufacturing's Biggest Bottlenecks

Instead of automating isolated tasks, manufacturers can automate entire processes from start to finish, closing gaps that standard automation tools were never designed to reach.
Operations Management: Definition and Best Practices
In this article, we'll explore what operations management is, what its best practices are, and how project portfolio management tools support operations management.
Onlogic at IMTS 2026
Make Booth 236609 in the North Hall a priority. This year, we are focusing on the physical compute foundation required to bring artificial intelligence, advanced control, and real-time data collection directly to the production line.
How Industry 5.0 is Changing what Manufacturers expect from IoT on the Factory Floor
Industry 5.0 is ultimately encouraging manufacturers to think beyond isolated automation projects and instead focus on building resilience across the full operating system — from suppliers and warehouses to logistics and production environments.
How to Maximize ROI on Aging Electrification Systems

The most successful manufacturing organizations don't maximize ROI by simply extending equipment life. They maximize ROI by understanding the right intervention at the right time, which could be maintenance, modernization, or replacement.
Why AI Falls Short in Product Development Without Context
As advanced AI models become more broadly available, competitive advantage will increasingly come from something competitors cannot simply buy: a trusted understanding of an organization's own products, decisions, and engineering history.
Staying in Control When Infrastructure Deployments Go Off Plan
Complex infrastructure projects don't always unfold exactly as planned. Timelines move, priorities compete, vendors introduce dependencies, and new information can change the risk profile of the entire deployment.
The Possibilities and Pitfalls of AI Coding Tools in Packaging Manufacturing
This article explores a question many manufacturers are beginning to ask: If AI can help us build our own solutions, should we? And what are we really getting into when we start using AI coding tools?
Why Manufacturing IT and OT Still Don't Talk to Each Other — And What It's Costing Your Production Floor
The IT/OT gap is not a technology problem waiting for a better technology. It is a governance and architecture problem that manufacturing leadership needs to own, with appropriate technical support, before the cost of inaction makes the decision for them.
How Hybrid Manufacturing Bridges the Gap Between Additive Speed and CNC Precision

Hybrid manufacturing removes production constraints on design ambition. Engineers who once scaled back geometries to accommodate manufacturing realities can now pursue optimal designs that maximize performance.
Physical AI in Manufacturing: How To Turn a New Category Into Factory Value
Asking an already-stretched floor to adopt Physical AI demands more than excitement - it demands a practical path to value, proven inside the constraints of a plant that cannot afford to slow down to find out if the bet pays off.
ResinDek® Flooring Installed on Elevated Work Platform Over ICON Mechanical's New Cleanroom
For the elevated mezzanine deck, Panel Built selected ResinDek engineered floor panels installed over a steel B-deck sub-surface. This supports both structural load demands and cleanroom-adjacent environmental requirements.
8 Signs Your Inventory System Is Holding Back Production
Manufacturers often turn to software to resolve issues revolving around inaccurate inventory. But inventory management software is often just a band-aid that can't fix their broader problems.
