Wireless

As manufacturing adapts for today’s technology, principles of “Internet of Things” (IoT) are becoming more commonplace. These relatively new technologies are largely dependent on the ability to transfer data quickly and effectively across the plant. Therefore, one of the advents in industrial IoT (or IIoT) is the use of an industrial wireless network. This enables IoT solutions such as remote monitoring, and even advanced solutions such as Artificial Intelligence and Machine Learnin...

There are times when we want a new technology so bad that we push and push to get the developers to get it on the market. We hype its capabilities. We speculate how much more we’ll be able to do with it. Yet, the dream for the real deal is still in the future. Such is the case with 5G communications. The outlooks are varied from one potential manufacturer to another. The industry influencers and technology followers always insert a caveat into its reality, leaving the result that we get conflicting inter...

Intelligent Automation

The blend of artificial intelligence with automation has produced a new approach to smart manufacturing and technology. It’s also introduced a lot of fear and contentious thought about machines and software replacing people in the workplace. While Hollywood and our authors of science fiction have painted a negative picture of how robots and machines will rule humanity in the future, that outcome couldn’t be farther from the truth. Siemens, an industrial leader in the world of intelligent automation, ...

Evolution

Industry 4.0's Place in Human History For now, let’s call Industry 4.0 a phenomenon. It’s still an initiative in the early formation of purpose and objective. We can look around the world and observe in various countries the spawn of many attempts at implementation under different names that are being swept under the umbrella of Industry 4.0. In the United States, it’s called the Second Machine Age. In China, it’s called “Made in China 2025” to signify an effort that has a timestamp on...

Cyber final

Industry 4.0, the industry supertrend, is generating great excitement among manufacturing leaders. Just about every manufacturing operation can benefit from an Industry 4.0 technology program. Almost always, Industry 4.0 programs increase the amount of data generation and collection for an operation. They can use this data to make deep insights into their processes. As the access to intelligent information increases, businesses can truly understand the best ways to operate. ...

Hydraulics

The Motion of Fluid in the Automation of Today When people think of automation they tend towards the electrical side of things, the controllers and the brains behind the machine. Those brains need something to make the machine do its job, and there are different methods to make those electronic commands form in the physical world. The primary methods that create motion in automation are electric, hydraulic, and pneumatic actuators (motors, cylinders, etc. – anything that converts something into m...

Mach

Looking Through the Lens of Automation I remember my first interaction with machine vision. It was exciting, because I had this image of all the things you’ve seen in the movies. I always remember the scenes in “Terminator” where you were looking through the eyes of the machine, and seeing what it saw. Little did I realize that while that was possible, it was not something easily accomplished. Machine vision is an exciting tool in automation; it takes machine sensing to the next l...

phoo

Chances are (unless you’ve been living off-grid for the last few years) you’ve heard the terms Internet of Things (IoT), Industrial Internet of Things (IIoT), and Industry 4.0, but like many people you may not be able to pinpoint what exactly each one means and how they relate to each other. To start learning what the implications of these new concepts really are, we need to start with the root of it all: the Internet of Things. In the broadest terms, the Internet of Things (IoT) encompasses all physic...

3 benefits of lean manufacturing

We All Want More Value Out of Day If you are someone who wants to improve your workday, then Lean Manufacturing can empower you to make lasting impact. Improvement, by definition, requires change, and it is often intimidating to know where to start. Lean Manufacturing provides a framework to identify improvements and systematically achieve them. Over the last 20 years of my career, in multiple industries, I have found the principles of Lean Manufacturing to be critical to my success. Conversations about ...
