Because of massive turnover in workforces, a renewed focus on employee safety, and negative impacts on customer loyalty and satisfaction, manufacturers have built new business models to service their customers. They’ve deployed new hybrid workplace models and renewed their focus on the Circular Economy. Because of this, sustainability’s new meaning in the Manufacturing industry is maintaining its position in the marketplace.
Conrad Leiva, MESA Smart Manufacturing Working Group Chair and VP Ecosystem and Workforce Development, CESMIISmart Manufacturing (SM) strategies have been evolving for the last decade among large corporations and many small and medium manufacturers (SMMs) might not realize that these strategies are not only applicable to them but are within reach when implemented in practical steps.
As 5G technology gets fully implemented over the next several years, cellphones and other wireless tech will grow more powerful with increased data flow and lower latency.
For manufacturers, artificial intelligence (AI) can be a game changer. Greater efficiencies, lower costs, improved quality and reduced downtime are just some of the potential benefits. This technology is not only for large manufacturers. High-value, cost-effective AI solutions are more accessible than many smaller manufacturers realize.

The rules of manufacturing are shifting—are you ready? Tariffs, automation, and supply chain disruptions are forcing manufacturers to adapt fast or fall behind. Join Karan Talati, CEO of First Resonance and former SpaceX Manufacturing Engineer, in this on-demand webinar to learn how leading manufacturers are: Navigating tariffs with data-driven supply chain strategies Leveraging automation and AI to eliminate bottlenecks Building resilience with predictive supplier management Adapting flexible s
. Okay, let’s establish something critical, technology is coming to take our jobs. Sounds scary right? Well it is but also, it’s coming to create more jobs. Sounds contradictory too doesn’t it? It’s true. More companies are moving towards automated systems and processes so while we are currently living in these projected times of job extinction with a corresponding job creation, the question is How well prepared, skill wise are you for such opportunities?
“Manufacturing has always been a technology-driven industry. But now more than ever, the forces of digital transformation are impacting every business, bringing new and exciting possibilities but also a great number of challenges.” I have long been a fan of Bernard Marr’s articles on the real world use of AI. In this article he partners … Continue reading Industry 4.0: The 4 Emerging Technologies Transforming Manufacturing | Bernard Marr.

Manufacturing Technology Today brings together the best content for manufacturing technology professionals from the widest variety of industry thought leaders.
The lean manufacturing movement came out of a desire to reduce waste and inefficiencies and improve productivity in the operation. Many manufacturers have also benefited from the resulting continuous improvement mindset as engaged employees became empowered to change things for the better. Just as you assign a value to the benefit of things in the operation, you can do the same in the front office.
Some energy is always lost (to heat, friction and windage) when motors convert electricity into useful (mechanical) work. To improve motor efficiency, manufacturers have found ways to reduce these losses—not by changing raw materials or production methods, but through design modifications: first with higher-efficiency EPACT motors and, more recently, with NEMA Premium models.
Manufacturers face increasing pressure to curb energy waste and emissions. Emergent Energy specializes in optimizing industrial steam systems, leveraging Panoramic Power’s real-time energy intelligence to drive efficiency. By analyzing steam system performance, Emergent Energy pinpoints inefficiencies and implements targeted improvements. This article explores how data-driven steam optimization transforms wasted energy into measurable savings, ensuring compliance with sustainability regulations.
Well, the short answer to this is yes! With the right gripper head, palletising of open top boxes and crates can easily be automated. Below is a short video showing an underneath gripper palletising open top plastic trays. As it … Continue reading → The post Can You Automatically Palletise Open Top Crates or Boxes? first appeared on Granta Automation.
What made me want to write about this subject was an electric clothes dryer that started smoking in our apartment when my wife turned it on a few days ago. She called me over as she watched what appeared to be the drum taking on an unnatural glow. Of course, being the knowledgeable male in our mated pair, I didn’t take her word for it and tried the dryer myself.

Over the past decade, companies have embraced innovation with enthusiasm—Chief Innovation Officers have been hired, and in-house incubators, accelerators, and co-creation labs have been launched. CEOs have spoken with passion about “making everyone an innovator” and the need “to disrupt our own business.” But after years of experimentation, senior leaders are asking: Is this still just an experiment, or are we in it for the long haul?
GAITHERSBURG, Md. — The U.S. Department of Commerce (DOC) has released the “Annual Report on Technology Transfer: Approach, Plans, Fiscal Year 2020 Activities and Achievements.
The National Academy of Engineering and the National Research Council have identified enterprise modeling and simulation as a technological breakthrough that will have a profound impact on manufacturing performance. Perhaps you are among the many small and medium-sized manufacturers (SMMs) who are aware that simulation provides a low cost, secure and fast analysis tool for product design and verification.

Large enterprises face unique challenges in optimizing their Business Intelligence (BI) output due to the sheer scale and complexity of their operations. Unlike smaller organizations, where basic BI features and simple dashboards might suffice, enterprises must manage vast amounts of data from diverse sources. What are the top modern BI use cases for enterprise businesses to help you get a leg up on the competition?
Artificial Intelligence (AI) and Machine Learning (ML) will impact almost all areas of manufacturing and supply chain in some manner. Schedule optimization, predictive maintenance, and predictive analytics are already being implemented within manufacturing. Projects that would benefit from AI and ML implementation are applications that require personnel to review complex data multiple times from various sources to find subtle correlations in the data.
