Use IIoT to improve OEE, increasing ROI
Case-use examples illustrate the point
Getting on board with AI technology
It is becoming a reality that artificial intelligence (AI) are starting to change the traditional role of the control engineer. There are some benefits, but there also potential barriers to its adoption in the industrial environment.
Soft robotic arm uses flexible sensors to understand its position
MIT researchers have developed flexible sensors and an artificial intelligence model that tell deformable robots how their bodies are positioned in a 3D environment.
Cybersecurity tool uses machine learning, honeypots to stop attacks
Purdue University researchers have developed a cybersecurity tool designed to stop cyber attacks using supervised machine learning, unsupervised machine learning and rule-based learning
Collaboration needed to redesign manufacturing network
The manufacturing industry is adopting methodologies that will help make operations faster and more efficient than ever before, but companies need to collaborate and collect as much data as possible.
Leveraging augmented reality wearables on the plant floor
Augmented reality (AR) wearable technology can provide workers and companies real-time information about conditions on the plant floor to make everyone safer.
Robotic offline programming increases manufacturing production
Robotic offline programming (OLP) reduces initial setup time, programming time, and changeover and alteration time for manufacturers.
University receives grant to construct high-performance computing cluster
Clarkson University received an NSF grant to construct a new high-performance computing cluster to support data and computationally intensive projects.
Make digital twins easier to implement for manufacturing industries
International: Move from vision to reality: It’s time to embrace digital twins for manufacturing. Benefits include more efficient digital transformations and more effective asset monitoring and performance.
Industrial virtualization heads to the plant floor
End users are comfortable with virtualization in their information technology (IT) server rooms and desktops, and many similar benefits now can be realized with industrial programmable logic controllers (PLCs) and programmable automation controllers (PACs).
