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...
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...
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...
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...
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...
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...
