A data-driven supply chain isn’t just about tracking shipments. It’s about turning a mountain of raw data: sales figures, inventory levels, supplier performance, even weather patterns, into actionable insights. It allows supply chains to anticipate problems before they o
How Automation is Revolutionizing Pipe Fabrication Amid Labor Shortages and Rising Competition
The world of pipe fabrication is changing fast. With ongoing labor shortages and growing pressure from global competitors, many fabricators are asking the same question: How can we keep up while maintaining quality and staying profitable?
The Promise & Risks of Physical AI's Self-Optimizing Factories & Human-AI Teaming
Physical AI is the difference between an algorithm that predicts a machine failure and an intelligent robot that can physically inspect the machine, identify the fault, and adapt its operation to prevent a shutdown.
IDS: See. Align. Place.
For both machines, the manufacturer relies on industrial cameras from the USB 3 uEye CP series from IDS Imaging Development Systems to ensure maximum accuracy, speed and process control. These systems are already in high-volume use across the Asian electronics market.
Key Considerations for Maximizing Manufacturing Efficiency
It’s true that advanced simulation tools have helped improve the efficiency and effectiveness of robotic workcell design and path planning, but it still remains an incredibly time consuming process.
Giving Blue-Collar Workers a Voice in Problem Solving — Without Slowing Production
Blue-collar workers interact daily with machines, materials, and processes, giving them a unique vantage point. Yet in many plants, their voices go unheard because reporting issues is slow, informal, or buried under paperwork.
Why edge AI alleviates the need for “flexible” data centers
The future of sustainable AI isn’t about managing massive centralized loads more cleverly—it’s about distributing intelligence to where it’s actually needed, with the energy efficiency that comes naturally from edge computing.
