Share to Twitter Share to Linkedin John Clemons consults for Rockwell Automation and Maverick Technologies , a leading platform-independent automation solutions provider. Recently, I had a brief conversation about manufacturing execution systems (MES) with an executive from a manufacturing enterprise. The executive quickly shut down the discussion saying, “We don’t have MES. We don’t need MES. We don’t want MES. We’re never going to use MES.” Period. Conversation over. Afterward, I thought about all the things I still wanted to say. I wanted to explain that their company already had MES in their manufacturing facilities, whether they knew it or not. They may have been missing out on its true value. What is MES? MES is a computer system that executes manufacturing operations on the shop floor in conjunction with shop floor operators and the automation and control systems. MES works exclusively on the shop floor to provide specific … [Read more...] about The Manufacturing Culture Of MES

Knowledge Graphs Will Lead To Trustworthy AI
Share to Twitter Share to Linkedin Mike Tung is the Founder & CEO at Diffbot . The black-box era of AI development is over. Deep learning had a great run in the decade from 2010 to 2020. End-to-end deep learning networks, the technology that catapulted image classification and large language models from academic research to the mainstream consciousness, have also led to countless concerns over AI bias and AI harm. That's because a neural network, essentially a large matrix of numerical weights, is inscrutable to explanation when the AI inevitably makes a wrong prediction. While this phenomenon isn't news to the AI research community, as AI systems move out of the research lab and ever more into our daily lives, the inscrutability of deep learning systems has transformed from a theoretical to a practical concern. Deep learning networks were very successful at optimizing the objective they were designed for—namely overall accuracy on some … [Read more...] about Knowledge Graphs Will Lead To Trustworthy AI

Sustainability In The Manufacturing Industry Is A Work In Process
Share to Twitter Share to Linkedin EVP, Industry Principal at Logility . Digitally transforming multi-tier supply chains through digital twins, AI and advanced analytics. Process manufacturers are under pressure. Growing pressure, in fact. (For our purposes, process includes companies in the rolled goods, woven goods, packaging, extrusion/injection molding and specialty chemical sectors.) In addition to the perennial challenges of shrinking margins, spikes in raw material costs, capacity fluctuations and supply chain disruptions, the industry is grappling with another set of issues centered on sustainability. According to the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency , sustainable manufacturing is defined as “the creation of manufactured products through economically sound processes that minimize negative environmental impacts while conserving energy and natural resources.” Why target the process industry? The answer is straightforward: its … [Read more...] about Sustainability In The Manufacturing Industry Is A Work In Process
What’s New In Additive Manufacturing?
Share to Twitter Share to Linkedin Bill King, PhD, Co-founder and Chief Scientist at Fast Radius . Over the past decade, 3-D printing has transformed from a hobbyist or prototyping tool into an industrial-grade production process, referred to as additive manufacturing. Today, additively manufactured parts are everywhere—from visually appealing consumer goods to the inner workings of automobiles and jet engines. Yet, many engineers and product designers who work closely with other manufacturing methods are still learning about additive technologies and how to sort out today’s very real opportunities from yesterday’s significant limitations. Until recently, many additive manufacturing technologies couldn't produce end-use parts. But now, the additive manufacturing industry has developed new materials, techniques and technologies to become a true competitor to more traditional manufacturing processes like injection molding and CNC machining. Still, … [Read more...] about What’s New In Additive Manufacturing?
Interview | Indian Overseas Bank MD says no communication from Centre on privatisation, ‘not even a hint’
Indian Overseas Bank MD and CEO Partha Pratim Sengupta Indian Overseas Bank Managing Director and Chief Executive Officer Partha Pratim Sengupta says the government has not approached the lender with a privatisation proposal although occasional media reports speculate about its sale. It has only been from such reports that Sengupta has got to know about the proposal, he said. In fact, the government has not even hinted that the bank will be privatized, Sengupta told Moneycontrol in an interview on May 20. Sengupta said the bank is aiming to grow its advances by 12% in the current financial year with secular growth across retail, micro, small and medium enterprise (MSME), corporate and agricultural loans. Edited excerpts: What is your growth outlook for FY23? The focus is that we should grow advances 12% year-on-year, that is our aim. So far, the credit off-take trend, I would say, is better than what we have seen for the similar period in the last financial year. … [Read more...] about Interview | Indian Overseas Bank MD says no communication from Centre on privatisation, ‘not even a hint’

Wall St rises as growth stocks gain after two days of selloff
- A + A NEW YORK/BENGALURU (May 20): US stock indexes rose on Friday led by megacap growth and healthcare shares at the end of a volatile week, roiled by concerns over the impact of rising inflation on earnings and the fallout of rate hikes on economic growth.
