Too often, industrial manufacturers find their process experts and data scientists have different problem-solving approaches. For example, production savvy process experts may be well versed in analytics know-how, but bandwidth constrained when it’s time to conduct the analysis. In contrast, the analytics savvy, mathematically inclined data scientists lack the production knowledge their process expert counterparts […]
Wireless applications have become an indispensable part of our everyday lives with users no longer being concerned about how these wireless connections are established and whether they are stable. It is only when the connection is interrupted that we take a closer look at the technology. In industrial environments, however, wireless technology is still met […]
Most of the magnets we encounter are made of “ferromagnetic” materials. The north-south magnetic axes of most atoms in these materials are lined up in the same direction, so their collective force is strong enough to produce significant attraction. These materials form the basis for most of the data storage devices in today’s high-tech world. […]

Getting spare parts where they need to go in a quick, reliable way is a logistical challenge for military and industrial supply chains. Researchers from the U.S. Military Academy at West Point and North Carolina State University have developed a computational model to help determine how best to incorporate additive manufacturing (AM) technologies into these […]
Graphene could advance flexible electronics according to a Penn State-led international research team. Huanyu “Larry” Cheng, Dorothy Quiggle Career Development Professor in Penn State’s Department of Engineering Science and Mechanics (ESM), heads the collaboration, which recently published two studies that could inform research and development of future motion detection, tactile sensing and health monitoring devices. […]
The Certa Plus sinusoidal pump provides pulsation-free product flow with no need for ancillary dampeners for pharmaceutical manufacturing applications. This improves both flow meter accuracy and heat exchanger efficiency. The low shear handling minimizes the temperature increase of the pumped liquid as well as improving batch consistency and final product quality. Certa Plus is capable […]
Learning Objectives NAMUR NE124 recommendations define requirements for wireless standards technologies in the process manufacturing industry. Wireless sensors are mostly used in applications that are not time-critical – such as to help eliminate manual data collection. Wireless sensors and applications cannot be isolated islands of automation and must integrate with the existing automation systems. […]
A race is underway to find the best ways to extract factory data and connect it with cloud computing services. The finish line may be a little hard to discern, but end users and OEMs alike want to collect this data, and then use third-party apps or their own self-developed analytics to gain value by […]
