Source: CynLr CynLr, or Cybernetics Laboratory, today said it has raised $10 million in Series A funding. It is developing technology to enable robots to manipulate objects of any shape, color, size, and form toward its “universal factory” or “factory-as-a-product” concept.
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.
Source: Realtime Robotics While conventional manufacturing involves robots working along a well-defined production line, software can enable multiple robots to work together more closely without collision for more complex and flexible processes. The Optimization system generates motion plans and avoids collisions in multi-robot workcells.
Reduce this waste area through two key steps: Source-based quality control : Implement procedures at each manufacturing stage that integrate quality control to avoid wasted time on correcting a defect and assign quality control and reporting at the source. Inventory (Excess) Excess inventory may be a result of overproduction (i.e.,
The sourcing of key raw materials by Contract Development & Manufacturing Organizations CDMOs was severely impacted and continues as a significant bottleneck post-COVID. Therefore, a multi-sourcing strategy and right-shoring to address cost and efficiency concerns are transforming CDMOs.
Source: Modern Machine Shop I’ve spent the past two decades visiting and writing about machine shops for Gardner Business Media, currently as editor-in-chief of the Production Machining brand. WIP is a form of waste. Machine shops producing parts in high volumes face challenges that low-volume operations might not encounter.
The benefits are substantial, especially when applied at bottleneck processes. This eliminates variability in changeover time, which is a source of unpredictability in manufacturing. However, the team can’t be formed completely until the target machine is chosen. SMED benefits will be maximized by targeting a bottleneck machine.
Formlabs Enters 2022 With New 3D Printers and Resins Formlabs launched the Form 3+ and Form 3B+ printers, their fastest 3D printers to date, available and shipping globally. Desktop Metal Introduces All-New Digital Sheet Metal Forming Technology with Figur G15: Desktop Metal, Inc.
This capability is designed to integrate seamlessly with company-approved sources, providing accurate and compliant information to one team, the entire company, or customers. AI SmartTips is set to redefine data entry for open-text fields found in processes such as performance reviews, IT tickets, and CRM forms.
This has taken the form of long lead times, as well as stalling of production when parts needed for manufacturing fail. Efficiency is critical for businesses to remain competitive, so these bottlenecks can be extremely damaging. Sometimes these production delays can be in the range of months.
Source: Getty Images The machining world is always going through an up and down business cycle. This can be in the form of cross training or enhanced skills training. Equipment purchases are only contemplated when shops are extremely busy so shops can address bottlenecks or capacity issues.
All parts require an appropriate six-digit source, maintenance and recoverability (SMR) code and exist in a digital repository for information sharing and tracking. The DoD has high interest to make more 3D printed parts, primarily due to the supply chain issues that have become a major bottleneck,” Bredael said.
In many sectors, bottlenecks are easing. The Press Conference on the Annual Financial Statements of the Würth Group will take place on Thursday, 4 May 2023, in digital form. Content Source: . Confident for 2023 despite crises, end of material shortages in sight. About the Würth Group. billion in the 2022 fiscal year.
In addition, an analysis by philanthropists the Minderoo Foundation has identified that just 20 companies are the source of more than half of all single-use plastic waste. I think greenwashing, in all its various forms, will become one of the biggest mis-sellings we’ve ever seen.
Source | PCS Company D&M Tool Corporation is a busy mold builder. It is now our primary source for mold bases, along with PCS's pins, parting line locks, lifters and other products that we use for every mold we build,” says Cummings. “The mold base configurator has greatly improved our ordering and quoting process.
Today, this can be in the form of voice calls, SMS, chat messaging, video meetings, email, or a mixture of them, based on customers’ or employees’ preferences. Data-driven insights: Workflow bottlenecks and best practices can be identified to streamline operations and increase efficiencies in internal processes.
This form of real-time feedback helps supervisors identify any concerns that require attention. 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.
Farmington, CT) – Solid state — or 1mµ — laser sources became the standard for cutting sheet metal after gaining mainstream traction among sheet metal manufacturers in 2011. A persistent technology around since the 1960s, these laser sources were new only to our industry. TRUMPF Inc. Bystronic Inc. Messer Cutting Systems, Inc.
Furthering The Digital Automation Journey Reata Engineering was formed in 1993 with the purchase of a used mill and a lathe, both manual machines. He says the constant goal over the years is to be a single-source precision machining and contract manufacturing partner.
It also features some remarkable engineering given the target market and form factor (necessarily larger than standard Watches but still ergonomically designed to sit surprisingly lightly on the wrist). The bottleneck is these products’ primary assembly site at contract manufacturing giant Foxconn’s megafactory in Zhengzhou, China.

Pavilions at FABTECH are dedicated to 3D/Additive Manufacturing, Forming & Fabricating (Hall A) ; Welding, Welding Automation, Robotics & Industrial Automation (Hall B); and METALFORM, Finishing, Tube & Pipe (Hall D). Clean Air fume extraction MIG guns, which reduce smoke at the source, also will be featured by Bernard.
Collectively, these new capabilities form the fundamental pillars that will help telcos look from the edge inwards, helping them move away from a “build it and they will come” model. Bottlenecks, however, have slowed down progress. Why is there so little disruption in the telecoms industry, and what can telcos do to drive disruption?

This category includes novel injectable delivery systems like liposomes and nanoformulations, as well as immediate-release oral dosage forms and transdermal drug delivery systems. Additionally, the company has established 14 drug delivery platforms, covering various dosage forms such as cataplasms and blow-fill-seal (BFS) eye drops.
