Augmented Intelligence in Machine Vision - is Furthering Human Intelligence More Effective Than Replacing It?
Augmented intelligence is similar to artificial intelligence in that it uses machine learning algorithms to enhance defect detection. However, instead of aiming to replace human intelligence, augmented intelligence aims to build upon it.
Robotics In Manufacturing: Threat or Opportunity?
The use of robotics in manufacturing has grown consistently over the past decade. A recent report from the Association for Advancing Automation revealed that North America saw a record in robot sales in 2022, with the number of robots ordered up 11% from the previous year.
Five Ways Visual AI Increases Profitability in Manufacturing
The problem with traditional surveillance camera systems is that they are typically used only passively or reactively, i.e., video images are inconsistently viewed and-more often than not-after a safety, security, or quality-related event has taken place.
Machine Shop Robots Get Real
To better understand the benefits of cobot automation and how it works on the shop floor, we spoke to two leading providers of automated tools to small shops targeting two of the most time consuming and difficult to staff processes, quality control and welding.
Automated Support Removal & Finishing for Metal AM - Robots vs CNC
This article will address the transition to automated support removal (and finishing) solutions and consider the advantages and disadvantages of using CNC systems versus the versatility and reliability of robots.
It's All Connected: Care, Collaboration, and the Cloud
When it comes to MedTech, data is the gamechanger. Whether it is patient outcomes or manufacturing excellence, data holds the key to a new era in manufacturing - and with it, the Cloud. It is the future of MedTech.
Could Energy-Harvesting Technology Power IoT Devices of the Future?
It's particularly challenging to be too reliant on battery-powered IoT devices in industries like manufacturing and logistics. Many factories now have 24/7 operations, meaning there are no feasible downtime periods for recharging.
Predictive Quality Analytics in Manufacturing: How AI and Machine Learning are Transforming the Industry
With predictive analytics quality management, manufacturers may now identify and avoid quality issues before they arise by utilizing cutting-edge technology like AI and machine learning (ML), which has significantly improved productivity and profitability.
The 8 Wastes of Lean Manufacturing
The lean manufacturing methodology chiefly revolves around minimizing production times and raising efficiency by eliminating waste. In this post, we go through the 8 principal wastes in lean manufacturing and see how manufacturing software can help to address them.
Refurbishing Instead of Replacing
With cutting rings, a shearing tool removes the worn edges before they are built back up with 3D printing. Finally, the cutting rings are machined to the final shape.
Understanding the Role of Machine Vision in Industry 4.0
Today it is being applied to diverse areas such as monitoring processes for predictive maintenance, and robotic guidance that makes it possible for robots to safely work with and respond to human interactions.
Strategies for Optimizing Supply Chain with Automation
The pandemic brought supply chain to the forefront, leading companies to seek AI, analytics, and automation solutions for efficiency and meeting demand. Machine Learning predicts demand and AI/automation boosts quality and monitors events.
One Sweet Machine
From candy to coffee beans, AD Process Equipment's confectionery equipment applies coatings that make food taste better. NORD DRIVESYSTEMS helps them do so more efficiently.
Successful Conversion of a Vehicle Assembly With Electric Monorail System
The challenges that arose during the course of the project and how they were overcome are reported by the departments involved. The end result was a system with brilliant production performance.
The Importance of OEE (Overall Equipment Effectiveness) Data in Manufacturing
All manufacturers are operating in an environment of global competition. In order to compete - manufacturers must be highly efficient and continuously improving. OEE is a proven effective metric in an ongoing program of continuous improvement.

Model TR1 Tru-Trac
The Model TR1 Tru-Trac® linear measurement solution is a versatile option for tracking velocity, position, or distance over a wide variety of surfaces. An integrated encoder, measuring wheel, and spring-loaded torsion arm in one, compact unit, the Model TR1 is easy to install. The spring-loaded torsion arm offers adjustable torsion load, allowing the Model TR1 to be mounted in almost any orientation - even upside-down. The threaded shaft on the pivot axis is field reversible, providing mounting access from either side. With operating speeds up to 3000 feet per minute, a wide variety of configuration options - including multiple wheel material options - and a housing made from a durable, conductive composite material that minimizes static buildup, the Model TR1 Tru-Trac® is the ideal solution for countless applications.
