How Automation Improves Solar Energy Sustainability

Solar manufacturing is a heavily automated industry, but there are still opportunities for greater efficiency. Solar panel manufacturing could not exist at scale without modern factory automation. From forming silicon into ingots to slicing those ingots into paper-thin wafers to assembling the wafers into solar cells, nearly every stage requires a...

8 Ways Automation is Transforming Last-Mile Delivery

Automating last-mile delivery can help the transportation industry overcome the final hurdle. Businesses around the globe pour seemingly endless amounts of energy into optimizing their supply chains, from sourcing and production to order fulfillment. The irony is that, after all this work, the final mile can be logistically the most difficult...

5 Ways Factory Automation in the Energy Industry Spurs Innovation

Already one of the most competitive markets on the planet, it is also subject to a range of social, geopolitical, and...

Siemens announces collaboration to create integrated production-control and monitoring system for storage battery production facilities

Siemens, with their long standing tradition of automation technologies, has collaborated with the Karlsruhe Institute of Technology (KIT) in order to develop better automation and monitoring technology for large-scale Lithium-ion battery producers. Wind and solar power plants already generate large amounts of electricity. The need to supply this energy as...

Talk of The Nation on the State of the Manufacturing Industry

From NPR's Talk of the Nation: 100 years ago, you know, I think it was about 90 percent of Americans worked in agriculture. Now, it's down to two percent, and yet we produce far much more food than we did 100 years ago. And manufacturing is going through that same type of...

The End of Renewable Manufacturing?

The July 2011 Congressional deficit debates led into the biggest tax cuts the U.S. has seen in quite some time. A number of programs were either shaved or will simply go un-renewed at their deadline. Others were shutdown almost immediately. One of the industries that saw a lot of attention during and after...

New Automation Technology Needs Created by the Electric Car

Despite the rise in popularity and awareness for alternative fuels and motors that run on them, there is still interest in a car that uses no fuel at all. The electric car is that solution. It may seem simple, but there are many hurdles yet to cross before the electric...

Items to Consider in Making a More Efficient Plant

The green movement is much more than a way to jump onto the eco-friendly bandwagon, it can also be a way to reduce plant-operating costs considerably over time. Many plants have found that simple monitoring, maintenance, scheduling, and other techniques are easy to implement. Others have to add energy-saving equipment...

Green Incentives for Manufacturing in Michigan

Manufacturing in Eagle Technologies’ home state of Michigan has gotten a bad rap over the past few years. The problem has been the collapse of the auto industry (which is now on the upswing). Sure, Michigan state officials have tried to shift the work force to other things, such as...

Alternative Energy in Auto Manufacturing: The Global Nudge

The world has recognized and reacted to the need for more alternative energy sources. Customers are looking for greener, more environmentally friendly products and governments are looking for ways to preserve their natural resources while employing their populations. Alternative energy is the solution. No industry has experienced a shift as...
