The digital thread is one piece of the digital transformation underway at NASA and throughout the manufacturing community.

NASA landed another rover on Mars in February, thanks in part to the work and leadership of Adam Steltzner. SME’s Smart Manufacturing interviewed him shortly thereafter.

Digitization in manufacturing has focused on making simpler, more transparent processes that help shops boost machine availability and utilization, with the ultimate goal of increased productivity. However, it plays another, equally important role: catering to a future generation of “digital-native” decision makers.

Making operators and process designers better informed in real time, with a focus on making intelligent decisions with enhanced data, is the key to updating U.S. aerospace and defense manufacturing capabilities.

The latest data collection systems are designed to dependably and accurately acquire precision measurement data in an extensive range of applications and distances.

The importance of playing well with others in the age of interoperability.

What makes an engineer is the ability to analyze a process that makes an excellent product—and find a cheaper way to do it.

You’ve done it: Everyone is on board with a digital transformation. So where do you go from here? The next major decision in the process is determining whether you build an IIoT (Industrial Internet of Things) solution or hire a solutions provider to complete the project on your behalf.

Everyone knows that today a ton of data captured on the manufacturing floor goes unused due to the lack of a data scientist on staff or other resources to comb through all the information.

As manufacturing marches forward into the digital era, a growing ecosystem of standards is laying the foundation for a new generation of data management.
