Overcoming the pilot-to-production cost barrier with Edge AI
During pilots, you have all the resources-engineers, servers, hardware-and you'll make it work because you're putting your utmost attention on it. But when you try to replicate that across 100, 200, or 500 locations, it falls on its face.
COMPOSITE CONDUCTOR CORES ENABLE AMERICAN POWER MODERNIZATION
Surging electrical demand from AI-enabling data centers and increased urban power consumption, as well as vast renewable energy production, require upgraded electrical infrastructure.
Rewriting the Rules of Scalable Manufacturing
The project, which fused AM-driven computational design with production-grade investment casting, successfully scaled an intricately engineered part from tens to thousands per day - all without compromising performance, cost-efficiency, or sustainability.
Laying the groundwork for smarter manufacturing - Enhancing factory foundations for reduced downtime, more efficient production
As factories get smarter, they become capable of producing more efficiently, often triggering the need for expansion. This expansion includes better space utilisation, the adoption of newer, larger systems, and an increase in physical footprint.
DFAM: WHY PURPOSEFUL GEOMETRY MUST REPLACE PASSIVE OPTIMISATION
Rather than embracing the full potential of AM, many engineers merely adapt existing designs or lean heavily on software-driven outputs, confusing automation with optimisation.
