    What is Total Productive Maintenance?: "Maintenance downtime is included in manufacturing scheduling, and in many cases, becomes an integral part of the manufacturing process."

    Going beyond Big Data to relevant data: "'In the industrial world, most owners never take physical possession of the database that underlies their operation.'"

    HR’s key role in solving the productivity puzzle: "...the company has drawn on “lean” manufacturing approaches to constantly review and improve its processes and empower staff to solve problems."

    Role of Industrial Internet of Things for Warehouse: "Machine vision has been an enabling technology to solve these challenging problems as it provides a more robust solution in a world where shapes, weights, and identification are not always easy to determine."

    Conventional automotive supply chain manufacturing maintenance has relied upon empirical observations and human measurements of equipment. This approach could only sample machine performance at discrete intervals. It was plagued by repeatability issues based on the measurement time of day, human interpretation error, and sensor placement.  A more modern representation of the same maintenance method now can be performed digitally...

    Improving Quality in Automotive Manufacturing
    The automotive industry is second to none for world class quality controls across their entire supply chain. To maintain this standard, suppliers must adhere to rigid development requirements tracking, proven manufacturing systems and must be open to periodic process audits. This can often mean requiring defect levels that are below 1 dpm (defect per million) at the component level. In order to achieve these levels of outgoing quality,...
