Manufacturing continues to move further into the digital age, but for many small and medium-sized shops, the concept of Industry 4.0 still seems out of reach. Many of these manufacturers understand that they need to take advantage of digitization to remain competitive, but they are not sure where to begin or what technologies they can integrate For the highest return on investment (ROI). Fortunately, relatively inexpensive turnkey digital solutions have simplified this process – and made it possible for manufacturers of all sizes to realize the benefits of the Industrial Internet of Things (IIoT) with access to tool identification, inventory management and machine monitoring

In recent years, considerable progress has been made in the field of amorphous metals, also known as metallic glasses. Here, new insights were gained into the composition of alloys in order to achieve a better glass forming ability and thus enable larger components. While the first amorphous alloys usually consisted of two elements, the currently most promising amorphous alloys often consist of four to five elements. Occasionally zirconium-based alloys show the best glass-forming ability, with which the largest component dimensions can be realized.
