Digital integration is talked about all the time. But why is it so important? Because it makes every person and every stage of production more accurate and effective. In manufacturing, connectivity is not a buzzword. It has real and serious implications for how your factories can benefit from paperless manufacturing. Think of your stack of digital technologies as an ecosystem, where the more the individual solutions interact and support one another, the stronger the whole system becomes.
Blue laser technology is constantly evolving and the use of blue laser sources in manufacturing systems provides significant advantages over conventional engraving and cutting machinery as well as CO2 and fibre laser sources alike.

The 5G to 6G Transition The evolution of Fifth Generation (5G) communications networks from earlier cellular wireless systems is being realized worldwide. Mobile internet access with voice, video, and data communications is being provided by a combination of diversified terrestrial and satellite-communications (satcom) equipment. However, despite 5G’s generous bandwidth, it is being consumed quickly by… The post Mechanical considerations for 6G systems appeared first on Design World.
Here is a bit of news in our rapidly maturing market. I don’t know that it necessarily means anything and I don’t know any of the people, but I do find it interesting that no long term PTC executives were promoted. That job goes to the CEO of a recently acquired company. I guess we can try to read the tea leaves about what that means for the future direction of the company—and what’s important.
Blockchain technology is rapidly gaining acceptance in various industries. Its application in enterprise solutions has increased significantly over the past few years, as organizations look for more secure, transparent, and efficient ways to manage data and transactions.
In 2025, the Supply Chain continues its evolution toward “Logistics 4.0,” inspired by Industry 4.0. Two major characteristics define this transformation: automation, driven by robotic solutions, and prediction, paving the way for an era of planning and simulation powered by Artificial Intelligence (AI).
The government has been warned that the requirements of the new bill regulating the online world could lead to users losing access to Wikipedia. This is due to fears that the law could lead to "age-gating" the website, which currently does not require age verification. In order to avoid it, peers have suggested adding a regulatory exemption to the legislation that would cover sites which are considered low risk for harm and provide a public good.
