Because of massive turnover in workforces, a renewed focus on employee safety, and negative impacts on customer loyalty and satisfaction, manufacturers have built new business models to service their customers. They’ve deployed new hybrid workplace models and renewed their focus on the Circular Economy. Because of this, sustainability’s new meaning in the Manufacturing industry is maintaining its position in the marketplace.
Conrad Leiva, MESA Smart Manufacturing Working Group Chair and VP Ecosystem and Workforce Development, CESMIISmart Manufacturing (SM) strategies have been evolving for the last decade among large corporations and many small and medium manufacturers (SMMs) might not realize that these strategies are not only applicable to them but are within reach when implemented in practical steps.
As 5G technology gets fully implemented over the next several years, cellphones and other wireless tech will grow more powerful with increased data flow and lower latency.
For manufacturers, artificial intelligence (AI) can be a game changer. Greater efficiencies, lower costs, improved quality and reduced downtime are just some of the potential benefits. This technology is not only for large manufacturers. High-value, cost-effective AI solutions are more accessible than many smaller manufacturers realize.
The $53 trillion manufacturing economy in the US is undergoing a major automation paradigm shift due to Artificial Intelligence (AI). Thanks to new practical frameworks, automation projects that were once impossible or inefficient to implement are now being fast-tracked, and robotics automation is becoming increasingly relevant to a growing number of users and scenarios.
. Okay, let’s establish something critical, technology is coming to take our jobs. Sounds scary right? Well it is but also, it’s coming to create more jobs. Sounds contradictory too doesn’t it? It’s true. More companies are moving towards automated systems and processes so while we are currently living in these projected times of job extinction with a corresponding job creation, the question is How well prepared, skill wise are you for such opportunities?
“Manufacturing has always been a technology-driven industry. But now more than ever, the forces of digital transformation are impacting every business, bringing new and exciting possibilities but also a great number of challenges.” I have long been a fan of Bernard Marr’s articles on the real world use of AI. In this article he partners … Continue reading Industry 4.0: The 4 Emerging Technologies Transforming Manufacturing | Bernard Marr.

Manufacturing Technology Today brings together the best content for manufacturing technology professionals from the widest variety of industry thought leaders.
The lean manufacturing movement came out of a desire to reduce waste and inefficiencies and improve productivity in the operation. Many manufacturers have also benefited from the resulting continuous improvement mindset as engaged employees became empowered to change things for the better. Just as you assign a value to the benefit of things in the operation, you can do the same in the front office.
Some energy is always lost (to heat, friction and windage) when motors convert electricity into useful (mechanical) work. To improve motor efficiency, manufacturers have found ways to reduce these losses—not by changing raw materials or production methods, but through design modifications: first with higher-efficiency EPACT motors and, more recently, with NEMA Premium models.
The world of manufacturing is evolving—and so must the factories that drive it. This eBook reveals five transformative strategies that can help manufacturers gain a lasting competitive edge. Through insights from aerospace leaders, energy innovators, and the factories of tomorrow, we show how manufacturers are moving beyond traditional approaches. From building smarter, adaptable systems to embracing iterative design and fostering resilient cultures, these strategies are shaping the future of pr

Hydraulic Cylinder Parts Arrive While here in Europe we enjoyed the Christmas holidays, in Asia, Donlouco were working hard to tool up some new hydraulic cylinder parts for our customers. We were very happy to see the sample parts arrive here at our head office on our very first day back at work, and they look great as usual. Big thank you to the team in China, excellent work.
Artificial Intelligence (AI) and Machine Learning (ML) will impact almost all areas of manufacturing and supply chain in some manner. Schedule optimization, predictive maintenance, and predictive analytics are already being implemented within manufacturing. Projects that would benefit from AI and ML implementation are applications that require personnel to review complex data multiple times from various sources to find subtle correlations in the data.

Manufacturing is evolving, and the right technology can empower—not replace—your workforce. Smart automation and AI-driven software are revolutionizing decision-making, optimizing processes, and improving efficiency. But how do you implement these tools with confidence and ensure they complement human expertise rather than override it? Join industry expert Andrew Skoog as he explores how manufacturers can leverage automation to enhance operations, streamline workflows, and make smarter, data-dri
GAITHERSBURG, Md. — The U.S. Department of Commerce (DOC) has released the “Annual Report on Technology Transfer: Approach, Plans, Fiscal Year 2020 Activities and Achievements.
The National Academy of Engineering and the National Research Council have identified enterprise modeling and simulation as a technological breakthrough that will have a profound impact on manufacturing performance.

What made me want to write about this subject was an electric clothes dryer that started smoking in our apartment when my wife turned it on a few days ago. She called me over as she watched what appeared to be the drum taking on an unnatural glow. Of course, being the knowledgeable male in our mated pair, I didn’t take her word for it and tried the dryer myself.
Effective shop floor production planning and execution can be challenging.
