Dashboards used to be static, one-size-fits-all solutions that you could only view via a computer. You can see what's functioning and what isn't and where the bottlenecks are. They can connect data from various sources (including ERP, MES, automation systems, and even Excel files) into a cloud repository.

Therefore, a one-size-fits-all approach is no longer sustainable. Bottlenecks, however, have slowed down progress. I believe that effective automation combines the right architecture and open-source tooling with network data and customer insight. With 5G, image processing and analytics technology can help achieve this.

Part production is often hampered by a single operation — often a single critical feature that, for whatever reason, creates a bottleneck that dramatically alters the profitability of a job. Secondly, the drills had to handle the cutting conditions needed to reliably produce holes fast enough to eliminate the production bottleneck.

This is where quantum computing fits in. Qiskit is IBM’s open-source software development kit. In simple terms, quantum teleportation happens when quantum information is transferred from source to destination through entangled states. As in the case of other technologies, there are bottlenecks here too.

Eventually, these hairpins need to fit into the exact grooves punched or cut into the stator stack sheets. For the machines being used for precision applications, most of the critical raw materials like CNC, LM guideways, ball screws, and bearings have to be imported due to a lack of local source of supply.
