AI promises major gains for manufacturers, but decades of inconsistent factory data, disconnected systems and delayed quality information often stand in the way. Jon Sobel, co-founder and CEO of Sight Machine, explains why organizing and contextualizing production data is the critical first step before AI can deliver meaningful insights.
Joe Teague, owner and organizer of the Advanced Manufacturing Expo, explains how AME’s Industry 4.0 Tech Hall will help manufacturers evaluate AI-driven data and production technologies.
BIRMINGHAM, Mich. — Emesent plans to expand manufacturing of its autonomous mapping systems after securing $17 million in new funding to increase production capacity and accelerate development of AI-powered robotics technology.
In this episode of ASSEMBLY Audible, Alex Wirth of Rhino Tool House discusses the operational challenges that inspired the RhiKnows platform and why manufacturers are increasingly focused on turning disconnected plant-floor data into actionable production intelligence.
BIRMINGHAM, Mich. — Oracle has introduced new AI-powered applications within Oracle Fusion Cloud Supply Chain & Manufacturing (SCM) aimed at improving manufacturing efficiency, production readiness and Kanban management.
Georgia Tech’s Advanced Manufacturing Pilot Facility is using AI, robotics and autonomous experimentation to accelerate manufacturing development. Dr. Tom Kurfess explains how the self-driving lab is helping manufacturers test and de-risk new technologies before they reach production.
AUBURN HILLS, Mich. — ABB Robotics has introduced the Flexley Stack F712, an autonomous forklift that expands the company's autonomous mobile robot lineup for manufacturing applications.
BOSTON — Manufacturing companies are increasingly developing software, data and AI platforms alongside traditional products as manufacturers look to connect production systems, workforce knowledge and operational data. Now Mitsubishi Electric has created a dedicated space just for that sort of innovation.
Manufacturers are investing heavily in AI and automation, but many still can’t access or organize the data needed to make those systems useful. Aron Semle, CTO of HighByte, explains how fragmented factory systems and proprietary data structures are limiting smart manufacturing—and why initiatives such as i3X are becoming critical to making industrial AI practical on the plant floor.
What happens when assembly systems, process control, motion tracking and production data all operate in separate silos? In this episode of ASSEMBLY Audible, Russ Hughes of Desoutter Industrial Tools discusses the manufacturing challenges that inspired the Desoutter Ecosystem and why manufacturers are increasingly focused on connecting fragmented assembly operations across the factory floor.
In this webinar, Dr. Terra Vanzant Stern will explore how manufacturers can rethink long-standing approaches, identify waste within Lean itself, and leverage modern tools and strategies to achieve stronger operational results.
In this webinar, the authors of Don't Repeat Our Mistakes: Nine Lessons for Leaders Championing Cultural Transformations in Manufacturing will share lessons learned while leading organizational transformations across a variety of manufacturing environments.
