The development of CNC machines revolutionized the manufacturing industry. Automation and programming have led to a simpler and more accurate manufacturing process. As technology has improved in recent years, CNC machines have become more advanced and are better able to carry out their functions. Read below to learn about some of the ways that CNC milling machines have changed and improved in recent years.

When voice recognition technology was first developed, it was largely unreliable and not suitable for most tasks. However, in the past twenty years, and especially in the past five years, voice recognition technology has improved significantly. It is now suitable for a wide variety of tasks and operations, improving efficiency and making many tasks hands-free. In the manufacturing industry, voice recognition technology can be used to find out information and carry out specific tasks. This technology has the potential to greatly improve efficiency on your shop floor.

Technology across all industries is advancing rapidly, and the manufacturing industry is no exception. In recent years, the manufacturing industry has completely changed because of advances in additive manufacturing, the Internet of Things, and smart manufacturing. Many industry experts talk about smart manufacturing, but what is it exactly? We’ve broken down the basics of smart manufacturing and its importance to modern manufacturers. Read about it below! 

Automation is changing the way the manufacturing industry operates. Processes that used to require manpower can now be carried out by robotic labor. As more processes become automated, manufacturers are beginning to rethink their day-to-day operations. Because they’re able to take on more projects without necessary added manpower, shops are restructuring the way they operate, causing a gradual restructuring of the whole industry. Read below to learn about the effects of automation on the manufacturing industry.

The state of manufacturing is constantly changing. New developments in technology in recent years have sped up this processes of change, meaning things are moving faster than ever. In order to stay relevant and have the most efficient manufacturing systems in place, it’s important to stay up to date on the latest trends. Read below for some of the biggest trends in manufacturing this year.
