Machina Labs unveils the game-changing Machina Deployable System, a portable robotic marvel combining AI and advanced robotics for digital part formation and cutting, set to revolutionize manufacturing at FABTECH 2023.
Castrol’s SmartControl system is the new way to monitor and manage metalworking fluid (MWF), automatically and in real time.
The evolution of the digital supply chain requires a shift from pricing to partnerships.
The nexus of cyber and physical security threats is the stuff of nightmares, and while manufacturers are waking up to it as a reality, experts worry that the awakening is happening too slowly.
Today, the productivity needed to be globally competitive requires ever increasing metal-removal rates during operations such as roughing and high-speed slotting. Process reliability is paramount, especially when working with difficult-to-machine materials.
A dynamic safety concept has been implemented in the Industrie 4.0 demo production plant of the SmartFactoryKL consortium on the basis of an industrial, Ethernet-based communications protocol.
Comau, Microsoft and ICONICS are debuting here at Hannover Messe the results of their work together to improve manufacturing production around the world, in terms of efficiency and total cost of ownership.
Overall, there are two overriding customer needs: reducing cycle time and machine downtime. They want higher feed rates and depth of cut for greater metal removal.
Unplanned downtime and production loss due to equipment failure is one of the leading losses for manufacturers. Most shops perform maintenance on a fixed schedule or on failure. This means a machine will be maintained regardless of how often it is used and unexpected breakdowns will stop production.
Data management and the maintenance of clean, usable data for asset performance metrics pose great challenges for manufacturers today.
