Digital twins are breathing life and innovation into increasingly more areas of manufacturing as well as solving challenges for machine shops of all sizes. With the skilled labor shortage and an ongoing effort to reshore high-tech manufacturing to the U.S., digital twins have a lot to offer.
Measurements have been used to define and attempt to control the stuff we make throughout recorded history. Here's the latest.
The SafeMate research project, funded by the German Federal Ministry of Education and Research (BMBF) in the “Innovations for the Production, Service and Work of Tomorrow” program, strategies and concepts were developed for the introduction and design of collaborative assembly workplaces.
Schaeffler Technologies AG saw an opportunity to improve manufacturing throughput and reduce the required cell footprint of certain automated tasks.
Smart strategies to address workforce development challenges
Computed tomography (CT) scan data analysis can help trace failures and performance shortcomings back to their design roots.
Investing in an automation system—and partnering with key suppliers to customize a plan that fits your needs—will result in leaner, more productive operations with more efficient outcomes.
CERATIZIT said it has developed a combination tool for heavy goods vehicle (HGV) freeze plug/water plug boring.
Key steps are virtual twins and real relationships.
Metal diffusion bonding is an essential joining method for achieving a high-purity interface when two similar metals require superior structural integrity. The process involves applying high temperature, and pressure to metals mated together in a hot press causes the atoms on solid metallic surfaces to intersperse and bond.
