As a provider of Industry 4.0 solutions for advanced manufacturing, we often hear small and medium size manufacturers (SMBs) tell us they are concerned Industry 4.0 and IIoT is only suitable for large industrial corporations.
The advantages Industry 4.0 technologies deliver are clear: streamlined production, increased capacity and throughput, improved quality, reduced re-work and waste, and total visibility.
So, the question is, what’s holding SMBs back from implementing Industry 4.0 and IIoT-based solutions?

Tips to reduce costs and maximize manufacturing yield during times of global changes and uncertainties

It was Charles Darwin who famously said: “It is not the strongest of the species that survives… It is the one that is the most adaptable to change“, and indeed, as in nature, it holds true in business and economics.
We have prepared a short test, to estimate where you stand and how you can become smart, improve the overall agility and efficiency of your composites production operations, reduce production costs and maximize production yield. Let’s take it step by step;

In what feels like a minute and an eternity all at the same time, the industry is now busy dealing with a rollercoaster of shifts that impacts everyone in every aspect of our lives in a wide range of fields that include Aerospace, Automotive, Heavy Machinery, and more.
The next paragraphs will examine some of these changes and the main strategies that come along and help manufacturers face today’s challenges, keep the resilience, plan and be prepared for the day after the crisis.

As the world grapples with the human and economic crisis unravelling due to the pandemic, supply chains are experiencing unique challenges of their own.

The traditional focus on supply chain optimization to minimize costs, reduce inventories, and drive up asset utilization has removed buffers and flexibility to absorb disruptions. Global shocks and unpredicted situations show that many companies are not fully aware of the vulnerability of their supply chain relationships to global uncertainties.

In today’s complex-manufacturing competitive landscape there’s no room to make critical mistakes. Following over a decade of close collaborations with top discrete manufacturing players, we’ve come to know and learn to spot some of the most widespread mistakes. This article looks at the common pitfalls and examines top manufacturers’ strategies to avoid them.

As hard to believe as it is, a whole year has passed since we reviewed the upcoming trends for 2019. And now, here we are again!

The term digital twin may seem like something taken straight out of a Sci-Fi novel, but when you learn what it actually means to manufacturers you realize that it is actually not only exciting but quite valuable too.

If you’ve heard the term “Edge computing” recently but weren’t sure if you (or the person mentioning this term) knew exactly what it has to

Manufacturers in every field are always busy looking for ways to improve their business operations and scale up their throughput. it’s an endless challenge.   In

While the decision to implement an IIoT / connected factory / Industry 4.0 (or alike) solution is a no brainer, choosing and onboarding the right
