Additive manufacturing is filling an unmet niche in the healthcare industry. Traditional manufacturing transformed global markets by providing cost-effective ways to produce goods en masse. A hallmark of mass production has long been conformity. Manufacturers set a quality standard, and then develop their processes to ensure a uniform output that meets...
In a heavily regulated industry, automation could facilitate compliance while improving quality and spurring innovation. Once the purview of large manufacturers, advanced automation has come to touch nearly every industry. Increasingly, forward-thinking business owners are identifying automation as the key to maintaining a competitive edge in a crowded marketplace. Yet, even...
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...
For military suppliers operating at the limit of their production capacity, automation holds the key to expanding their manufacturing capabilities. In many ways, manufacturing for the military is just like other industries: the right automation processes have to be developed to achieve efficient production output, quality control standards must be in...
Population growth and climate change are placing pressure on the agricultural industry. Automation provides a path forward. In November 2022, the global population crossed the 8 billion threshold. That number is projected to pass 10 billion sometime in the years after 2050. Meanwhile, shifting climate conditions and ecosystem disruptions are having...
Farming may be one of the oldest industries, but it’s also one of the most innovative. To many of us in the modern day, farming hardly seems like the most cutting-edge sector. It’s easy to view the “high tech” world powered by algorithms and microchips as at odds with rural farmlands...
Advanced factory automation will build on innovative technology infrastructure. Factory automation is an established practice with a history of success, essential to the manufacturing sector. Modern factories employ robotic material handlers, vision systems, machine intelligence, and more to reliably provide high-quality products. Existing automation takes full advantage of the early waves...
Medical devices are subject to strict regulations and high-quality control standards. Automation can help. The healthcare industry is among the most highly advanced manufacturing fields in the world, with tight controls and restrictions governing the development and production of medical devices at every stage. At the same time, researchers and developers...
The high costs of manufacturing automation have long been prohibitive for HMLV manufacturers. Robots are changing that. For years, factory automation has delivered the highest ROI margins for large, high-volume manufacturers. For a production plant churning out thousands of parts a day, even the most marginal improvements will have an outsized...
New skills will be required as manufacturers shift from old-line manufacturing to incorporate more sophisticated technologies. It’s no secret that the manufacturing industry is facing a skills gap crisis. The causes behind it are varied, but the biggest factors are the retirement of the baby boomers and a younger generation that...
