Digital twin helps optimize manufacturing speed while satisfying quality constraints
A new method uses a digital twin to optimize manufacturing machine speed—known as feed rate—while adhering to quality constraints, according to a study by University of Michigan researchers published in IEEE Access.
A national initiative in semiconductors provides a once-in-a-generation opportunity to energize manufacturing in the U.S. The CHIPS and Science Act includes an $13 billion R&D investment in the chip industry. Done right, it’s a recipe for bringing advanced manufacturing techniques to every industry and cultivating a highly skilled workforce. The…
Smart manufacturing (SM)—the use of advanced, highly integrated technologies in manufacturing processes—is revolutionizing how companies operate. Evolving technologies and an increasingly globalized and digitalized marketplace have driven manufacturers to adopt smart manufacturing technologies to maintain competitiveness and profitability. An innovative application of the Industrial Internet of Things (IIoT), SM systems…
Reshoring manufacturing to the US has been a significant trend in recent years, driven by geopolitical tensions, supply chain disruptions, proximity to customers and markets, eco-system synergies and the need for positive impact on the domestic economy. However, reshoring presents several challenges—mainly workforce, technical and economic issues. AI, automation and…
