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...
In an industry that routinely deals with dangerous, volatile substances, automation could greatly increase both safety and efficiency. The munitions industry is unlike many other branches of manufacturing. Many manufacturers require safety precautions, but most aren’t working with products designed to explode. Many industries produce equipment that lives depend on, but...
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...
Lithium-ion batteries form a central part of the plan to move away from fossil fuels. To achieve these goals, innovations in factory automation are equally essential. Electric vehicles are on the rise. Not so long ago, battery-powered cars still faced extensive hurdles to reach widespread consumer adoption. Now, range anxiety has...
Leveraging automation for battery assembly will keep manufacturers on top of climbing demand. Electric vehicles are poised for a boom. Infrastructure is catching up with consumer demand, and EV technology is improving every day. To take advantage of the industry’s growth, battery manufacturers must be ready to meet the increase in...
Aircraft production and maintenance are complex processes. Here’s how automated vision systems can help streamline them. Aerospace manufacturing presents unique challenges as a low-volume, large-scale industry with tight regulations. Both the production chain and the day-to-day upkeep of aircraft involve rigorous checks across many moving parts. Under fluctuating real-world conditions, inspection...
Gender-diverse teams aren’t just the right thing to do—they’re good for business. Here’s why. Industrial and product design are male-dominated fields. Statistics vary across industries, but on average, somewhere between 20-25% of designers and engineers are women. And the problem isn’t in the pipeline: women are studying engineering and design at...
The manufacturing industry is prioritizing environmental, social, and governance policies more than ever before. Here’s how automation is helping. As the world grows increasingly interconnected, responsible corporate stewardship is becoming more of a priority for company leadership, investors, consumers, and workers who are seeking employment at a business that aligns with...
As factories grow more digitized and connected, they become more valuable as targets for cyberattack. Manufacturing is entering a new era, one marked by high-tech robots, advanced simulation, big data, and internet-equipped smart machines. Each of these innovations brings fresh opportunities for businesses to rethink their assembly processes and discover new...
