US manufacturing added 32,000 jobs in February, primarily in durable goods, while non-durable goods decreased by 1000 jobs last month. Even with the job decrease in non-durable goods, employment rates are steadily increasing in the manufacturing industry.

RÖHM Group recently announced it is now part of Dr. Helmut Rothenberger Holding GmbH. The acquisition will further strengthen RÖHM operations. The company’s 1400 employees join the Rothenberger Group’s family of more than 100 companies, which include Rothenberger AG, AUTANIA AG and WALTER Werkzeuge GmbH.

Marposs (Auburn Hills, MI) recently announced the strategic placement of its new technical center in Silicon Valley—the hub of innovation and technology.

Complexity is pervasive in today’s component design and manufacturing processes. In the latest product lifecycle management (PLM) software, manufacturers get more choices, with new functionality being added to help visualize manufacturing processes with technologies that include augmented reality (VR) and virtual reality (VR).

There will be a lot of success stories coming out soon featuring hybrid additive/subtractive machine technology. Still in its early development stages, hybrid machine technology is carving out—after carefully building up layer by layer—examples of complex parts, large repaired workpieces, and molds with process-enhancing conformal cooling channels designed in.

Live Tooling, as the name implies, is specifically driven by the CNC control and the turret of various spindle and powered sub-spindle configurations on CNC lathes to perform various operations while the workpiece remains in orientation to the main spindle.

The next cycle of technology disruption is upon us. Artificial Intelligence (AI) is taking hold in every industry and manufacturing is no exception. AI enables companies—from medical device and electronics manufacturers to pharmaceutical firms—to leverage their Big Data and IoT investments to see new patterns and insights and to perform tasks more efficiently and quickly than ever before.

Smart manufacturing is about making the best decisions in the shortest time possible based on the most accurate real-time data—whether those decisions are made by people, machines or cyber-physical systems.

Nearly a year ago, the world became aware of a new computer virus known as WannaCry. Many institutions were affected by the ransomware. It encrypted and locked a Microsoft Windows computing system and demanded payment.
