What Are The Advantages Of Injection Molding Over Other Manufacturing Processes?

If you manufacture products, you always look for ways to improve efficiency and reduce costs. One method that has gained popularity in recent years is injection molding. But what exactly makes it stand out from other manufacturing processes? Injection molding offers advantages in speed, consistency, and cost-effectiveness for large-scale production. It allows for complex shapes, reduces waste, and provides excellent surface finishes, making it ideal for high-volume manufacturing.

Full Steam Ahead: The Role of Steam in Modern Manufacturing

The Industrial Revolution began with the advent of steam engines in the 1760s. For hundreds of years, steam remained a go-to source of power. It wasn't until the 19th century that gas, diesel and electricity became popular. However, while it's not so obvious, steam still plays a significant role in modern manufacturing. Today, it helps power industries like chemicals, food, textiles, transport, medicine and more.

Precision and Efficiency: How CNC Cutting Technologies Are Redefining Modern Manufacturing

CNC cutting technologies have transformed the manufacturing industry, setting new benchmarks for precision and efficiency. From their origins as simple numerical controls to today's advanced systems, CNC (Computer Numerical Control) machines have redefined how products are designed and produced. These technologies ensure unparalleled accuracy while reducing production time and material waste, enabling manufacturers to meet the demands of a rapidly evolving market.

Industrial Power Systems: Best Practices for Selecting Safe and Reliable Equipment

In the world of manufacturing, a reliable power system is the foundation of your success. Industrial power systems include everything from the motors that drive your machines to the circuit breakers that protect them. Each component must work together seamlessly to ensure uninterrupted operations, safety, and efficiency. Hence, selecting the right equipment isn't just about meeting technical specifications. In fact, it is the process of building a system that keeps your facility running smoothly, prevents costly downtime, and protects your workforce.

Why pharmaceutical manufacturing can't afford IT failures: A real-world CDMO case study

The margin for error is extremely low in a critical sector like manufacturing, where accuracy, efficiency, and time to delivery are indispensable. These aspects become even more crucial in pharmaceutical manufacturing, a critical sector that is always in high demand, especially following the COVID-19 pandemic. The responsibility now falls on contract development and manufacturing organizations (CDMOs) that partner with pharmaceutical and biotech companies.

IT Support For Manufacturing: Outsource it or Have my Own?

The manufacturing industry is constantly evolving, and staying competitive demands seamless integration of technology into every facet of production. Yes, this includes automation and artificial intelligence, but let’s not forget good old-fashioned IT support. So, what does IT support for manufacturing really look like? Is it a nice-to-have or an absolute necessity? And most importantly, should you build your own IT support team or rely on outsourcing?

New Research Shows Manufacturing Leaders Plan to Expand Their Supply Chain Ecosystems

Zebra Technologies Corporation cited 28% of manufacturing leaders today and 46% by 2029 who say they plan to move, update, reshore, or near-shore production locations. This comes at a time when manufacturing leaders in Europe face much anticipated tariffs that could impact their costs and ability to export goods.

A Look at Labor: How to Make the Ongoing "Manufacturing Skills and Labor Challenge" a Non-Issue

Depending on where you are in the world, you may be hearing conflicting reports about the current state (and future) of the manufacturing workforce. For example, here in the U.S., some leaders are touting the creation of hundreds of thousands of new manufacturing jobs as a signal of improving economic health. However, this good news is counterbalanced by a stark truth: millions of manufacturing jobs are likely to go unfilled in the next 5-6 years in the country.
