Minimizing downtime and increasing production efficiency is one of the main goals of an effective maintenance strategy. Knowing the working hours, operating parameters, and consumption of one’s assets is the starting point for identifying operating conditions, studying their behavior, finding anomalies, and understanding the reasons for individual downtime. In this way, using different algorithms, it is possible to achieve the ideal strategy

The promise of metal additive manufacturing (AM) to completely transform how core parts are produced has largely been just that: a promise. The ability to 3D print parts has been deployed across countless industries, but limitations within conventional iterations of metal AM have relegated the technology to use primarily in prototyping or niche use cases.

Most manufacturers have a limited understanding of what it’s like to own and manage a robotic automation system. In fact, according to an MITsourced survey, 90% of U.S. manufacturers have zero robots in their facility1 .

There has been a fundamental shift in product innovation. Not merely a revolution in materials or design, but a revolution of possibilities. Advanced software technologies such as artificial intelligence have given us a peek of what could be, enabled by methods to deliver the speed that turn worldchanging ideas into reality. We’ve now reached an event horizon — one where semiconductors and software actually have the ability to bring about the most uplifting advances in the history of humankind. Thanks to this leap forward, chip technology and a new era of product transformation are poised to take us places previously unimaginable

The story of manufacturing is one of constant technological change and evolution. It is also a story with a sweeping geopolitical arc from the industrial revolution in 19th century Britain to modern day China accounting for nearly 30% of the world’s manufacturing1 . The march of the machines is relentless and for large portions of society, alarming. Today’s technology is even imbued with the ability to learn – Blake Lemoine, a software engineer at Google, believes a chatbot his firm has created is capable of conscious thought2.

In today’s world, manufacturers still depend heavily on the working hands of people. The skills that are in demand are extremely repetitive and potentially dangerous. With the added effect of current labor struggles, keeping talent in this environment is difficult to maintain. According to The Workforce Institute at UKG, 4 in 5 U.S. manufacturers are having difficulty keeping up with demand due to staff shortages and supply constraints1 . In real time, if a skilled worker decides not to come to work, eight hours of production time is wasted. These losses can be catastrophic for small to mid-sized manufacturers trying to keep up with demand while also attempting to outcompete global competitors.
