Photonics Array Alignment: Precision Active and Passive Techniques for High-Throughput PIC Production

In this post, we explore the evolution of photonics alignment - from early manual single-fiber setups to today's fully automated FAU (Fiber Array Unit) alignment systems.

Does technology's role in manufacturing need a rethink?

Today, manufacturers are once again chasing transformation. But the approach has changed. This time, it's about AI, automation, and digital tools. With an underlying, yet immense, pressure to adopt, implement and reap the benefits as quickly as possible.

900% Cost Increase Prompts Medical Device Manufacturer to Switch ERPs

"Essential features got turned into paid add-ons. It felt like a bait and switch," says Jonathan Greenwald, VP of Operations at KCL Manufacturing.

The Solar Shift: Why Clean Energy Is Now a Strategic Imperative for U.S. Manufacturers

Solar power has emerged as a game-changer for manufacturers. With large, flat rooftops already in place, manufacturing facilities are ideally positioned to harness solar energy at scale.

Benefits and Applications of IO-Link Wireless in the Food Industry

With IO-Link Wireless, food manufacturers and distributors can optimize their processes and stay ahead of the competition. The CoreTigo team provides a comprehensive look at how this works in a real factory setting.

5 Signs it's Time to Hire a Fractional CFO

For many small to mid-sized manufacturers, hiring a full-time CFO isn't economically feasible. That's where a fractional CFO-a part-time, high-level financial expert-can step in to transform the business.

Top 4 Complaint Management Challenges and How To Solve Them

Not only is effective complaints management good business practice, complaints management is also a compliance requirement for companies that adhere to ISO standards or are regulated by the FDA.

Leading with Limits

Through diligent education and awareness of this evolving landscape, businesses and their partners can thrive by using emerging technologies and position themselves competitively.

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.

Barriers to investing in CNC automation in 2025 - Transforming CNC automation obstacles into pathways for growth

Here Hakan Aydogdu, CEO at Tezmaksan Robot Technologies delves into these critical obstacles and reveals how innovative technologies and forward-thinking strategies are breaking down barriers, paving the way for a transformative shift in manufacturing.
