Over the past decade, manufacturing leaders have read countless articles claiming that integrating Industrial Internet of Things (IIoT) solutions will boost productivity, cut operating costs, unlock richer data, and sharpen decision‑making. A quick Google search for “technology transformation” retu

ABB has unveiled a cutting‑edge smart sensor designed for mounted bearings, a key component of the company’s ABB Ability Digital Powertrain suite. The sensor harnesses advanced vibration and temperature algorithms to continuously evaluate bearing health, providing early warnings of potential failur

Artificial intelligence (AI) is rapidly moving from a buzzword to a business enabler across manufacturing. In 2019, AI solutions began delivering measurable gains—from demand forecasting to autonomous robotics—establishing new standards for speed, accuracy, and operational efficiency. Below are thr

Today, inventory—together with accounts receivable and payable—ties up roughly $1.1 trillion in cash, equal to 7 % of U.S. GDP. Artificial intelligence offers a proven path to free this capital by turning inventory into a revenue‑generating asset rather than a liability. Industry 4.0 is reshaping

In 2019, mobility continues to expand across industries. Manufacturers must adopt new technologies and empower employees to use them effectively. From the Internet of Things (IoT) to the rise of bring‑your‑own‑device (BYOD), mobile tech offers tangible advantages that can keep companies ahead of th

In recent years the Internet of Things (IoT) has become a central theme in smart manufacturing, supply‑chain transformation, logistics, factory automation, and data collection. If you’re reading about these topics, chances are the term IIoT will appear. Simply put, the IoT is the web of computing

Nikola Labs has unveiled Vero, a wireless IIoT monitoring platform that eliminates the need for wired connections or disposable batteries, streamlining maintenance for industrial equipment. Battery-powered sensors typically last one to three years, explains Will Zell, CEO and co‑founder. While that

Grace Engineered Products has unveiled the GraceSense Predictive Maintenance System, a comprehensive solution designed to detect equipment failures before they happen. By leveraging wireless sensors, a configurable hardware architecture, and a user‑friendly web interface, GraceSense minimizes unplan

SymphonyAI has announced the strategic acquisition of Azima Global, a leading provider of machine condition monitoring and asset reliability solutions. As part of the SymphonyAI family, Azima Global will be rebranded Symphony AzimaAI and will focus on developing next‑generation products that merge o

LafargeHolcim has announced the launch of its ambitious “Plants of Tomorrow” program, a four‑year Industry 4.0 rollout aimed at modernising more than 270 integrated cement plants and grinding stations across 50+ countries. The initiative will embed automation, robotics, artificial intelligence, pred

Imagine you’re charged with building a business case to replace an old asset. To do so, you need its age, original cost, and any recent safety audits that confirm it meets current codes. When you look in the CMMS you find the asset cost field blank and a date of 1991. There are no audit reports in

ABI Research’s latest report projects a surge in artificial intelligence adoption within the industrial manufacturing sector, estimating that the total count of AI‑enabled devices will surpass 15.4 million by 2024—a compound annual growth rate of 64.8% from 2019 to 2024. AI in industrial manufacturi

Aging infrastructure, tightening margins, and heightened regulatory scrutiny compel industrial facilities to adopt smarter maintenance solutions. Digitalization—through data analytics, predictive maintenance, AI, and connected infrastructure—offers a powerful path forward. Yet, the first steps can

\nHistorians often point to the 1849 gold rush as a lesson: the richest fortunes went to those who supplied tools, not the miners themselves. In today’s industrial landscape, that wisdom still applies. The Industrial Internet of Things (IIoT) equips enterprises with real‑time data, enabling smarter

Honeywell recently announced the launch of Honeywell Robotics, a cutting‑edge research hub dedicated to advancing AI, machine learning, computer vision, and robotics technologies for supply‑chain applications.Located in Pittsburgh, the center is designed to shape the warehouses and distribution cent

Siemens has announced plans to acquire edge computing technology from Pixeom, a U.S.-based startup with offices in San Jose, California, and Udaipur, India. The acquisition will enhance Siemens’ Digital Industries division, specifically its Factory Automation business unit, by adding robust edge run

Over two centuries ago, German philosopher Immanuel Kant envisioned virtual reality as a construct of the mind rather than the physical realm. Today, VR has become a staple across gaming, marketing, and industrial sectors. Augmented reality (AR) builds on that legacy by superimposing digital inform

In today’s technology‑driven world, data is the linchpin of strategic decisions. The discipline that harnesses this potential—data science—enables companies to gather, scrutinize, and apply information for smarter, evidence‑based choices. Recent forecasts project the global data volume to

According to Wikipedia, machine learning is the scientific study of algorithms and statistical models that computer systems use to perform a specific task effectively without explicit instructions, relying on patterns and inference instead. It is considered a subset of artificial intelligence. Machi

Honeywell has announced the acquisition of Rebellion Photonics, a Houston‑based company that delivers intelligent gas‑monitoring solutions to enhance safety, operational performance, emissions mitigation and regulatory compliance across the oil, gas, petrochemical and power sectors. The deal will be
