Visibility, uptime, profits, and part quality: why a networked manufacturing floor is no longer a nice-to-have
Proliferation of cyber threats puts manufacturers at risk
As hackers become more sophisticated and dangerous, manufacturers need to step up their cybersecurity efforts.
In today’s ever-changing environment, planning—and investing in next-generation solutions—is more critical than ever.
The most important step in digitizing any manufacturing or supply chain process is analysis of the ROI and business case and being able to demonstrate success to company leaders.
Industrial computed tomography is a cost-effective, reliable way to meet intensifying
requirements for qualifying both the design of aerospace parts and the materials needed for their construction.
While fossil fuels dominate the energy market, expect a new mix of parts as renewable energy and EVs grow in market share.
AI software enables the company to capture relevant runtime metadata and put it into context to create useful information in real time.
Basic trends in modern manufacturing are driving growth in 3D optical metrology. “One is the highly complex and high-tech material that manufacturers are using today. For example, in the aerospace turbine blade market, they simply cannot touch the part like they used to—the surface finish of the material is too readily affected by any kind of contact metrology."
Technology is changing ever more rapidly. Sometimes this means topics learned in engineering or technical school become obsolete. Whole new fields emerge within a few years, so that even those with freshly minted educations suddenly find themselves faced with new challenges.
