3 Reasons Why Executives Should Keep an Eye on Machine Intelligence

by: Henning Anthonsen

Sometimes an innovation comes along, that deserves the attention of executives in multiple sectors and industries. In this case, the innovator is not a single person or company. Rather, the innovators are a group of well known leading, global brands: Google, Facebook, IBM, Twitter, Microsoft and Yahoo.

Florida Manufacturer Finds Solution to Excessive Noise with Acoustiblok Products

Acoustiblok’s sound abatement products are continuing to gain approval as an effective weapon against many types of industrial noise. Recently, a large manufacturer in Central Florida utilized Quiet-Cloud® Industrial Sound Absorption Panels and Industrial AllWeather Sound Panels® (IAWSP’s) to minimize excessive noise in its manufacturing complex and operations building.

NAVSEA Successfully Completes Implementation of New Surface Ship Maintenance Process

Reliability Engineering for Maintenance

How to Eat the Reliability Elephant…Three Ways to Fail (and One Way to Succeed) (Part 2)

Improving reliability can be daunting, especially if your plant is still in reactive maintenance mode. You need to improve everything from the way equipment is designed and purchased through to the way it is operated. Work practices have to be improved. The maintenance strategy has to change. And then you have to deal with the greatest barrier; culture change. So how do you do it? Where do you start? What works (and what doesn't)? Why do so many programs fail. In this webinar we will present a strategy that will work, and describe common alternative approaches that often fail.

This is the second half of a two-part webinar. While it is essential that you develop the reliability culture, most people also face a challenge trying to implement all of the elements, such as RCM, condition monitoring, planning and scheduling, etc. This video addresses how you can overcome those challenges.

How to Eat the Reliability Elephant…Three Ways to Fail (and One Way to Succeed) (Part 1)

In this webinar we will present a strategy that will work, and describe common alternative approaches that often fail.

This is the first of a two-part webinar. This video focuses on how to address the "reliability culture" - how to get everyone in the plant pulling in the same direction

Lean Production of Metallized Plastic at FAKUMA Show

PVD vacuum metallization gains momentum for metal finishing of plastic parts in automotive and other industries. In new compact and automated production lines metallization and subsequent processes are integrated with injection molding, improving cost efficiency and quality. This lean-integrated production technology is revealed at the FAKUMA plastic show in Friedrichshafen (Germany), October 14-18.
