Why Invest in Smart Manufacturing Practices?

We’re all privy to talks about smart manufacturing, smart factory, machine learning, IIOT, ITOT convergence, and so on, and many manufacturers have already embarked on their smart manufacturing journeys. Let’s take a pause and really think about it… Is it really important or is it a fad? If it is important, then why?

Drive Solutions for Innovative Solar Technology

Sewage treatment plants consume large amounts of electrical energy and space. It is not possible to cover the area with conventional photovoltaic systems since the settling basins must be accessible from above at any given time for operational reasons.

NORD worked with DHP technology to redefine solar technology and deliver a solution with the PLC integrated in the drive unit, controlled via weather station and an algorithm that allows to manage the sequences independently even in case of incidents, maximising the plant’s operational safety.

Open IIoT Group Launches the Podcast of the Year

As a cohort of some of Australia’s most prominent automation brands, ‘breaking through the jargon’ to make complex smart manufacturing concepts simple, an Open IIoT podcast is a long time coming. As a future-thinking podcast, there could be no better place for a launch than a similarly future-thinking event: the Modern Manufacturing Expo on 20 and 21 September at the Sydney Showgrounds.

Additive manufacturing unlocks industry 4.0 possibilities

The concept of Industry 5.0 – developing Artificial Intelligence to work alongside robots and smart machines- has been an increasing topic of conversation in the global manufacturing landscape. However, a number of key manufacturing insiders have argued that Australia still needs to get to grips with Industry 4.0 before we can move on to the next phase of industrialisation.
