Innovation in smart manufacturing can come in a flash from a lightbulb moment, but those instances are few. More often than not, breakthroughs in technology, such as bioprinting, blockchain, cloud-based manufacturing and real-time production control, happen after years of careful study accompanied by painstaking, methodical work done sometimes in academic settings.

As we enter Industry 4.0, the lines continue to blur between the digital and the physical. With this, the workplace is rapidly changing at every level in every industry.

The COVID-19 pandemic is causing major upheavals both in people’s lives and in the manufacturing world. One of the main problems that even the most developed nations are facing is a shortage of personal protection equipment (PPE), including masks, glasses, gowns, safety suits, and fans.

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.

Hexagon's Manufacturing Intelligence division announced today it will host HxGN LIVE Smart Manufacturing Detroit 2020, to be held May 19-20. The digital solutions conference will be held at Hexagon’s newest U.S. facility and regional cornerstone in Novi, Mich.
