The new Frost & Sullivan report on “ European Cybersecurity Responsibility, Spending, and Posture ” highlights that 38% of enterprises are spending more on cybersecurity since the pandemic began to bolster their protection levels. That’s to be expected, with many employers allowing staff to work from home, which brings an increased risk of cyberattacks.

Read Our Blog. Why Are Digital Manufacturing Dashboards Important in Industry 4.0? The goal of Industry 4.0 is to track rapid real-world changes and use them to boost your factory's efficiency and profitability. Naturally, data and manufacturing dashboards are critical aspects of this process. The manufacturing analytics dashboard converts the never-ending data stream from real-time monitoring devices into simple visual displays and actionable insights.
This blog is part one of a series on cybersecurity and Industry 4.0. This morning my favorite local morning news program had an interesting segment on new slang words and what they mean. While the definitions were probably not necessary for Millennials or Generation Z, for Baby Boomers like me it was an eye-opening vocabulary lesson. I must admit I didn’t know what boujee meant, even though I had heard it a few times – like when my niece said the wine glasses I used at Thanksgiving were boujee.
This decade will be marked by a decisive shift to electric mobility. Tesla, a prime catalyst in this transformation, is set to unleash further disruption, not just in terms of its trailblazing products but equally because of its unique and unconventional aftersales service delivery model. The company’s vertically integrated aftersales format differs from traditional paradigms on two key counts: one, the absence of third-party intermediaries, and two, its limited reliance on service fixed operati
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).
ExxonMobil's new Exceed S performance polyethylene (PE) helps flexible packaging and film converters simplify designs, improve performance, and produce more durable products.
Motors are common in industrial environments, and they're getting increasingly complicated and technical, making it difficult to maintain them functioning at top efficiency. It's important to remember that the causes of motor and drive issues are not limited to a single field of expertise–both mechanical and electrical issues can cause motor failure–and having the correct knowledge can make the difference between costly downtime and increased asset uptime.
An estimated 2.4 million jobs could go unfilled in the US alone between 2018 and 2028, according to Deloitte. That labor and skills shortage is not limited to the US. It’s being seen across the world as the ‘Baby Boomer’ generation, born between 1946 and 1964, reaches retirement. Their departure from the workforce not only creates a job to fill, but also leaves behind a skills gap.

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?
One of the biggest pain points in the life of a maintenance technician or installer is conveyor belt tracking. Here are a few helpful tips to lookout for and an easy, 3-step process to get your belt running right down the middle.
Let’s start with a question. What is the connection between a bullwhip and a supply chain? It sounds like a joke. After all, what similarities can there be between the cowboys and cattle of the Wild West and the machines and assembly lines of industry? However, they do share something significant. In both worlds, a […].

There are three facts about cement plants that are universally true: . The average machine age in a cement plant is at least 30-40 years. . Finding the right expertise to maintain them consistently is challenging. Every machine – big or small – has the power to bring the whole process to a complete standstill. . . These three facts establish that proactive machine maintenance in cement plants is critical to remain profitable and scale efficiently.

SIKO’s PURE.MOBILE series, the SG31 and SG61 wire-actuated encoders, feature a maximum measuring length of 3 to 6 m. Integrating the latest generation of inclinometers, they combine the ability to detect not only position and speed, but also the measured variable of inclination. The two wire-actuated encoders are complemented by the large SG121 and SG150 […].
First, it was clear that, despite the commercialisation of new technologies, there is still a significant gap, especially if we want to reach the sustainability goals set for 2050. One of the other options to close this gap is to change consumer behaviour and reduce plastic consumption. In some cases, this is feasible and even desirable. But in other cases, it could mean sacrificing something (a piece of packaging, for example) that actually does an important job, like reducing food waste.
Only about 15% of used clothes and other textiles in the United States get reused or recycled. The other 85% head straight to the landfill or incinerator. This wastes scarce resources, contributes to climate change and pollutes waterways.
The search for efficiency has become a long-distance race for all companies that want to be part of Industry 4.0. The constant search and desire to obtain this competitive advantage is driving thousands of companies to delegate numerous activities and processes to machines, software and intelligent platforms. This new scenario establishes a reality in which machines learn from humans, becoming an increasingly fundamental part of any business.

Jeff Bezos, founder of Amazon and Blue Origin believes that to avoid a terrestrial environmental disaster and preserve the planet, we need to move people into outer space and transfer much of our manufacturing capacity there. Unlike Elon Musk who sees a multiplanetary strategy as the means for our species to survive, Bezos sees colonies in near-Earth space as the remedy for what ails the planet.
Large enterprises face unique challenges in optimizing their Business Intelligence (BI) output due to the sheer scale and complexity of their operations.
