Insights from the Factory Floor
Many companies have made significant investment in control systems that look at individual types of machines. But a single process may use many different machines that speak different languages and have different control requirements.
IIoT And The CyberThreat: A Perfect Storm Of Risk
Chris Grove for MBT Mag: Some organizations have a false sense of security and believe their industrial control systems cant be easily compromised.
Why Smart Manufacturing Is Guaranteed to Need Industrial Robotics
By connecting manufacturing leaders with end-users, implementing machines that are able to maintain themselves and teaching current employees how to work with the new line of industrial robotics, proactive and tech-savvy manufacturers are in a position to revolutionize the way they do business from this point forward.
The factory of the future is here, and it's digitized
Scott Kirsner for Boston Globe: The revolution is about three things: more advanced software for designing things; devices like 3-D printers that can quickly crank out a prototype; and robots and other technologies that will make the factory floor more efficient and flexible.
Talking Industry 4.0 with Mark Kojak, HARTING, Inc.
Connected Manufacturing is the ability to drive data that is meaningful to the cloud for big data analysis. The current trend in Industry 4.0 is to be able to sense specific points in end equipment to enable advanced analytics to be run on distributed edge computing devices to determine whether machines are operating within tolerances and predict a potential failure before it happens.
How Innovations Are Driving Advanced Technology in Manufacturing
By connecting their factories all over the world, manufacturers can see the entire operation. They can make updates in real-time. They have vision into which plants are running efficiently or where there are production issues.
How Data Management Can Keep the Supply Chain on Track
Although it's still in an evolutionary state, big data is already showing tremendous potential across nearly all industries, professions and applications.
Robots May Help Defuse Demographic Time Bomb in Japan, Germany
Anirban Nag for Bloomberg: Robots to offset negative impact of slower labor force growth. Emerging markets wont be so lucky, Moodys report says
APM 4.0 will sustain Industry 4.0
Dan Miklovic, LNS Research via Plant Services: On the road to smarter manufacturing, do not confuse sophistication with maturity.
Power to the People: How Humans are Heading Back to the Factory Floor
In response to consumer demand and competitive pressures, product variation is on the rise. That variation changes the manufacturing calculus somewhat, as the required variation and corresponding complexity means that the ability to think critically and independently and adjust to changing circumstances is a priority.
Cybersecurity in the Factory
Technology for Industrial Control Systems and SCADA are now available that allow for continuous monitoring of these critical systems. A baseline is created and any deviations can be alerted and acted upon.
Beyond Conveyors: Conveying a Quality Solution
Designing the optimal material handling systems requires a deep understanding of the product, process, and challenges inherent in the manufacturing process.
Maker Cities: If You Can Imagine It, You Can Build It
Peter Hirshberg and Marcia Kadanoff for US News:
Maker Cities are remaking America for the future.
Guidelines for implementation of Industry 4.0
KARLSRUHER INSTITUT FÃœR TECHNOLOGIE (KIT): Researchers develop guidelines for intelligent production and products
Industry 4.0, IIoT and Connected Manufacturing
The greatest benefit seems to be in complex control of the factory. A SCADA system is extremely useful for all of the workers on the production team. The operator has the main overview of the production in real time, the technologist is able to reconfigure the recipes from the office when itÂ's necessary, for maintenance it is important when and why the failures happened and the shift leader can check who is responsible for that.
