The pace of technology today is rapid, with the potential to transform manufacturing. Digitization, automation, and connectivity are opening many new doors on the production floor.
Manufacturers face a difficult task juggling the current “innovation agenda.” Today, the Industrial Internet of Things (IIoT), robotic automation and artificial intelligence (AI) are all poised to be the next big thing.
Modern manufacturing is rapidly adopting model-based definition (MBD). When employing an MBD strategy, the CAD model becomes more than the nominal to which all parts are measured and inspected against. MBD keeps the all-important digital thread intact—from design to manufacturing to inspection and quality reporting.
CAD/CAM software users are looking for a wide variety of functions from which to choose and customize based on their application.
Industry 4.0 initiatives need to consider safety as well as other functions
The trials and tribulations of 2020 have given manufacturers a moment of clarity, a vice president of IFS says in a commentary.

Unleash the power of automation, reshoring, and nearshoring in manufacturing as industry pioneers optimize inventory, supercharge productivity, and stay agile in the face of market demands.
Why Manufacturing Day is a significant event.
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.
