A new friction stir welding cell from KUKA – the cell4_FSW – welds even large components with high seam strength and minimal weld distortion. At the same time, the cell offers maximum flexibility – which companies can also benefit from in the context of contract manufacturing.
With rapid diversification and rising customer demand, these are challenging times for grid managers. The transition to solar, wind, and wave power means that energy production is as changeable as the weather — quite literally. This is compounded by growing demand for energy thanks to electric vehicles (EVs) and electric heating.
The Digital Metrology Standards Consortium (DMSC, Inc.) is pleased to announce an update to the Memorandum of Understanding (MoU) with the MTConnect® Institute. The original MoU was signed in 2011. As technology has evolved, both organizations recognize an even greater need to optimize the way industrial software and machines work together, to encourage manufacturing standards development, and to use data modeling to enable information interoperability by specifying the content of specific information and where it is stored – all with the goal of improving manufacturing efficiency.
There is light at the end of the tunnel. The steadily improving corona statistics provide hope, and we are looking forward to better times. Some even say we are heading for exceptionally good times, economically speaking.
