Greater automation in the food industry can lead to higher quality and safer products, all while reducing costs. By and large, Americans take food safety for granted. When most of us purchase a product at the grocery store, we expect that it will be safe to eat. Large-scale food-borne outbreaks are...
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...
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...
Manufacturers should view upgrading their factories as a chance to revisit their cybersecurity and data governance practices. The smart technology revolution that is currently taking the manufacturing sector by storm brings with it a range of operational advantages the full scope of which have yet to be fully grasped. From advanced...
One of the most widely-used metal forming processes can be made even more efficient with automation. Die casting is a popular process for good reason. It produces castings quickly and consistently, with a high level of precision, and can minimize the amount of post-processing needed for the final product. The dies...
Vertical farming is becoming ever more cost effective. Farming automation is a leading reason why. Since vertical farming was first conceived, engineers have been experimenting with different ways to make it cost effective. And, like any new technology, many of those early attempts were too costly to be economically viable. However,...
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...
Simultaneous Location and Mapping (SLAM) technology is at the heart of many of the most recent advances in autonomous robotic capabilities. Well before the earliest robots were constructed, engineers, manufacturers, scientists, science fiction enthusiasts, and the public at large had envisioned them as humanoid machines capable of navigating the world much...
The last two years have been tough for chip manufacturers. The pandemic has thrown global supply chain vulnerabilities into sharp relief, and in few places has it been more visible than in the effect of chip shortages on product availability and delivery timelines. These challenges have prompted the high-tech industry to...
