Ford Motor Co. said in a conference call on April 28 to announce first-quarter earnings that he is likely to lose half its production in the second quarter due to chip shortages. General Motors expects chip shortages to cut its profit by $1.5 billion to $2 billion this year. The research firm IHS Markit expects […]

Inventor George Devol filed a patent in 1954 for the first industrial robot, and when it was brought to life in 1961, it looked and functioned much like today’s robotic arms capable of carrying 500 pounds and performing tasks previously reserved exclusively for humans. Robot arms are now a familiar sight in automobile factories and

The Cyber-physical Systems Revolution, brought together in Industry 4.0, has evolved into Industry 5.0 and is changing how we live, work and interact with each other. The next wave of the Industrial Revolution must define how we work together and how we define the rules of human-machine interaction. The cyberphysical system revolution, summarized as the

The program encompasses data science, robotics, and ML, enabling students to pursue holistic, interdisciplinary courses and prepare for positions in research, operations, software and hardware development, and doctoral programs. Upon graduation, you will receive a certificate from the University of Texas in Austin and the Great Lakes Executive Learning. Machine learning, a subset of artificial

Industry 4.0 is the name for the increasing combination of traditional manufacturing and industrial platform practices with the latest smart technologies, with an emphasis on the use of large-scale M2M and Internet of Things (IoT) applications to provide, for example, greater automation, improved communication and monitoring, and intelligent machines that can analyze and diagnose problems

Machine Vision is an image -based inspection and analysis technology that leverages the harmony between hardware and software to provide solutions for a wide range of applications across industries. Machine Vision covers many technologies, software, hardware products, integrated systems, measures, methods and expertise. Machine Vision (MV) is a technology or method for providing automated imaging

Machine vision is 90% software and 10% hardware, assume the correct hardware is selected. Out of the 10% hardware, it is largely divided between the CMOS sensor and the computational unit. The automation industrially commonly refers to the computational unit as the controller, which runs the specific OS and performs the machine vision computation(such as

High speed machine vision systems are everywhere in an advanced manufacturing site, but not all of them are equal. While there are many vendors that claim a superior product that can magically achieve amazing results in high speed machine vision applications, the key to any successful high speed vision system lies within a few very

Welcome to the world of Ethernet/IP. When setting up an Ethernet/IP-based PLC, you may be wondering why you must configure some devices and not others. The answer lies in the differences between “connected” and “unconnected” configuration for Ethernet/IP. Connected vs Unconnected, Explicit vs Implicit, Scanner vs Adapter. These are just some of the acronyms you
