How Shops Can Connect to Their Machines and with Their People
ShiftWorx API and Narrative 2 applications from FreePoint capture more uptime and downtime information empirically on the plant floor, then connect the data to ERP more effectively using AI or other advanced analysis.
The Practical Impact of Industry 4.0 – Part Three: Connecting the Dots
Building the Smart Factory starts with digital processes and automated machines, but it ends with intelligent connections between resources and tasks. Linking together people, machines and software inside a plant enhances the capabilities of each and creates a system that is more valuable than the sum of its parts.
ECI Acquires Trivest
This deal expands their software solutions for small to mid-sized companies in the manufacturing sector.
How to Configure Network Cameras from a Web Browser
With reliability and speed needed for traceability, error-proofing, vision-guided robotics and other applications, BVS Cockpit software from Balluff does what sensors can’t do, with all of the functions needed to operate SmartCameras.
Real-Time Tracking of Parts Reduces Downtime
To optimize logistical flows, reduce downtime and improve productivity, WorkPLAN 2019 R1 from Vero Software allows users to model their workshop and localize parts during the manufacturing process in real-time through activity time recordings or operator location declarations.
Cloud-Based Gas Detection for Hot Work Operations
With the entire iNet gas detection infrastructure from Industrial Scientific now operating through Amazon Web Services, fabrication and welding shops can quickly and easily access critical data they need online to monitor operations, prevent downtime, and save lives.
Die Cad Group Appoints New President
Mary Nicholson is charged with growing the business both organically and through new opportunities.
Build Preparation is No Longer an Afterthought
Flow software from Velo3D integrates print preparation, simulation and composing capabilities to predict and control the outcome of building any design and assure its accuracy and consistency.
Constructing a ‘First Time Right’ Print
Using a digital twin to simulate the build process prior to printing, Additive Manufacturing Process Simulation from Siemens predicts distortion during 3D printing and automatically generates the corrected geometry to compensate for it.
Software to Automate Build Preparation, Monitor the Build Process
Renishaw offers QuantAM Dental to cut build preparation time for hundreds of dental frameworks in a single operation, and InfiniAM Spectral to analyze process monitoring data in real-time.
The Power of Additive Machining
The Additive Machining module in Edgecam 2019 R1 software from Vero accurately guides a laser as it deposits material to build a shape using direct energy deposition, then uses advanced rotary and five-axis milling cycles to finish the final shape.
How to Use Multi-Jet Fusion for Economical Small Batch Production
Partfinder software from Additive Innovation makes the economical production of small batches and spare parts possible with the multi-jet fusion process by automatically searching large volumes of data for components that are suitable for 3D printing.
