How to Capitalize on Telemetry Data to Better Prepare for Hurricanes
Hurricane preparedness is an increasingly crucial consideration for businesses with operations along the coast. So far, in 2024, weather-related disasters across the country have caused more than $25 billion in damages.
While supply chains in affected regions can’t prevent hurricanes, they can mitigate their impact. Telemetry data provides a valuable resource for improving visibility, leading to more effective disaster planning and responses. Here’s how you can capitalize on this data to prepare for the hurricane season.
Casting a Cybersecurity Net to Secure Generative AI in Manufacturing
Generative AI has exploded in popularity across many industries. While this technology has many benefits, it also raises some unique cybersecurity concerns. Securing AI must be a top priority for organizations as they rush to implement these tools.
Three Ways Industry 4.0 Can Upgrade Industrial Water Treatment Methods
Industrial water treatment methods must evolve to remain relevant and efficient. Many decision-makers have investigated how Industry 4.0 technologies could help them meet numerous goals. What benefits could you expect by taking this approach?
Maximizing Thermal Efficiency With Heat Recovery for Better Thermal Energy Storage
Thermal energy storage systems allow people to capture extra warmth or coolness and use it later. Traditionally, they’ve used it to meet the future climate control needs in buildings, but many researchers now believe optimizing recovery efforts from stored energy could do more. Such outcomes are most likely if people find the best ways to maximize thermal energy efficiency through heat recovery and storage efforts.
Why Do We Need to Make Semiconductor Manufacturing an Attractive Career Choice?
Despite the Biden Administration’s recent multi-billion dollar investment in chipmakers, the sector remains uninviting to job seekers and positions go unfilled. While funding needs time, indicators suggest that more significant issues influence the workforce. What happens if semiconductor manufacturing remains an unappealing career choice?
The Secret to Smarter Medical Devices? AI and Advanced Manufacturing
Artificial intelligence (AI) has dramatically shaped both manufacturing at large and the production of advanced medical devices. It’s now common for many factories to have robots, sensors with predictive algorithms, and other AI-based innovations that assist in every part of the workflow. In addition to producers using AI in manufacturing, many healthcare products themselves have AI features. How has this technology enhanced these offerings and the locations that make them?
Supercharging Automotive Production Line With AI-Powered Manufacturing
Today’s manufacturers face ongoing challenges to keep their output and quality levels high. Succeeding in these areas will keep them competitive despite the increasing demands of their industries. Automakers must meet their targets due to the high costs of their products and the associated expectations consumers and others have. Artificial intelligence could help. Why should people consider applying AI in automotive manufacturing?
The Growing Importance of System Redundancy in Industry 4.0
The word “redundant” typically doesn’t carry a positive connotation. That’s especially true in supply chain management, where business practices have trended toward just-in-time (JIT), lean strategies over the past few decades. However, as Industry 4.0 grows, manufacturing redundancy is becoming increasingly important.
How Do Automated Guided Vehicles Improve Manufacturing?
The manufacturing industry is no stranger to automation. Until recently, however, most has been in the form of stationary robotics. The recent rise of automated guided vehicles (AGVs) promises to bring robots’ advantages to other workflows. As a result, more manufacturers are considering the benefits of AGVs.
What Is Manufacturing-as-a-Service and Why Is It Important?
The future of manufacturing — and probably every other industry — is looking more communal and collaborative by the day. Nothing demonstrates this better than the rise of manufacturing-as-a-service (MaaS). Everybody knows that it takes just one good idea to change the world. Yet, not everyone has the capital to get their idea off the ground all by themselves.
