UNDERSTANDING THE EXTENSIVE BENEFITS OF PURCHASING TOTAL LINEAR POSITIONING SYSTEMS

When a group of components work together and create the most cost-effective solution for machine movement, that’s a linear positioning system. And linear motion technology designed as a system best enables OEMs to accelerate design and manufacturing speed, reduce assembly time and labor — and achieve a lower total cost of ownership. Explore the key issues that OEM engineers and purchasers must know when specifying and procuring linear motion systems. Then review an OEM case study illustrating the benefits. It’s all in our new technical brief.

5 WAYS YOUR MANUFACTURING COMPANY CAN WIN WITH THE HELP OF AI

We are beginning to approach a world in which artificial intelligence, or AI, is a regular part of all industries as machines become increasingly capable of taking over both mundane and complex tasks. But manufacturing companies have known for decades what many other industries are only learning now: that humans and machines working together can unlock a wealth of potential and take productivity to entirely new levels. Since the late 90s, manufacturing companies have been well aware of the increased efficiency, productivity, and ultimate profitability that can be offered by integrating AI into everyday processes. We can see evidence of this in the rapid growth of the Global Artificial Intelligence in Manufacturing Market, which is predicted to reach a value of $9.89 billion by the year 2027. Here are five ways in which your manufacturing company can benefit from this new-age technology.

TRANSFORMING MANUFACTURING PROCESSES IMPROVING INSIGHTS AND EFFICIENCY WITH INTEGRATED SOLUTION

As a manufacturer still relying on Excel datasheets, other spreadsheets, and systems you implemented ages ago? This has been nothing but the norm in the manufacturing industry. While this approach is common and there is inherently nothing wrong with using these time-tested methods, it can pose challenges in terms of scalability, adaptability, and efficiency as the industry evolves into a more complex and volatile environment where data insights offer significant competitive advantages. In this white paper, we explore how the needs and expectations have changed in the manufacturing industry and how integrated manufacturing solutions offer a whole new level of efficiency and adaptability. We dive into traditional methods, like Microsoft Excel, and expand our horizons into tailored software solutions.

THE ROADBLOCKS TO THE DYNAMIC ENTERPRISE - 2023 QUICKBASE RESEARCH REPORT

58% of people surveyed spend less than 20 hours per week on meaningful work that drives results for key projects. Mastering dynamic work — the multi-stakeholder, complex work that drives revenue — takes coordination and collaboration. But we all know how work really goes with different answers from different systems, people not on the same page, and disconnected data that takes valuable hours from our day trying to figure out. It’s hard work being productive when you’re not being set up to succeed.

COMPLETE GUIDE TO AI-BASED PREDICTIVE MAINTENANCE

Did you know predictive maintenance can save a company 30-40% of its operating cost? That’s right! Advancements in technology have enabled predictive maintenance to become more accurate and cost-effective, saving companies millions of dollars! The goal of predictive maintenance is to reduce the number of outages and system failures by identifying potential breakdowns before they occur. But how can you successfully leverage predictive insights to meet your business objectives and maximize ROI? To answer this question and more, we bring to you a ‘Complete Guide to AI-Based Predictive Maintenance and Why You Need it in Your Industrial Operations’. The e-book deep dives into the different maintenance strategies and demonstrates why AI-based predictive maintenance can help you get the most out of your data, collected from various assets and processes. Learn what processes AI-based predictive maintenance is most suitable for and how to identify the right assets for applying this strategy. Lastly, understand the key external and internal considerations that will help you prepare for implementing an AI-based predictive maintenance solution. Download the e-book today and fast-track your AI transformation journey.

DECODING AI - IMPROVING DECISION MAKING AND MANAGING EXPECTATIONS IN MANUFACTURING

Artificial Intelligence (AI) and Machine Learning (ML) have evolved from mere buzzwords to crucial technologies that are shaping the future of the manufacturing industry. They present a unique opportunity to streamline supply chains and operations, predict business outcomes, and transform traditional manufacturing processes. But like any technology, their true potential emerges not just from their advanced capabilities, but from how they are utilised. In our previous white paper, we discussed the benefits of AI and ML and how they can be utilised in the manufacturing industry. In this white paper we dive into how artificial intelligence can improve decision making, managing expectations, and how to prepare your organisation.
