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...
The future of manufacturing relies on workers and robots working safely alongside each other. Since the earliest instances of robotic automation in factories, worker safety has been a top concern in the industry. Robots not only operate at higher speeds than human workers, they also maneuver larger and heavier objects. Without...
Advanced robotics and leading-edge software are finding creative efficiencies in storage, packaging, and distribution. Automated packaging solutions have a host of benefits for any manufacturing business. But the material handling capabilities of robotic technology and leading-edge automation software aren’t limited to packing items in containers. There’s more to getting your products...
Additive manufacturing is achieving its potential with the help of existing automation technologies. Additive manufacturing, more commonly known as 3D printing, has the potential to be a massively disruptive technology. The ability to use a single machine to produce virtually any design seems, at first glance, fundamentally incompatible with traditional large-scale...
The logistics industry is an ideal application for increased use of autonomous systems. The past two years of the Covid-19 pandemic have had a profound impact across every part of society, often in unexpected ways. In particular, the pandemic exposed weaknesses in supply chain infrastructures that are still being felt today....
