Manufacturing is undergoing a significant transformation. This collection of articles explores emerging trends, including the rise of personalized production through small-scale robots, a growing focus on sustainability in battery life cycles and production methods, and the continued march of automation. While some, like Samsung, are aiming for fully automated factories, others are looking at ways to make traditional methods like CNC machining more efficient and eco-friendly. As AI and robotics continue to advance, the future of manufacturing promises to be both innovative and adaptable.
Forget mass manufacturing -- the next big product could be made in your garage with the help of tiny robots.
Support for development of technology strategies As a result of the three-month-long project, we identified more than 70 trends relevant to the customer’s business operations. Opportunities and threats were described in more detail in the final report through related implications, a practical example and a quantitative indicator.“We have understood...
Tomi PitkäahoAthith SagarTero Kaarlela The rapid growth in battery demand raises questions about sustainability and the limited amount of rare materials. While recycling the batteries to raw materials enables the preservation of rare raw materials, recycling consumes time and energy, reducing the value of recycled batteries. Repurposing and reusing...
Abstract Autonomous exploration is a fundamental problem for certain applications of unmanned ground vehicles (UGVs). Depth cameras are widely used in exploring indoor and specific outdoor environments. However, existing methods suffer from inefficient and unstable performance of exploration in open outdoor environments. This study develops a framework...
Proper choice of grinding parameters is important because productivity is limited by the possibility of grinding burns. Nondestructive testing (NDT), as Barkhausen noise (BN), can provide a tool for determining parameter limits. However, BN requires a threshold value for approval and requires multiple experiments to provide grinding parameters corresponding...

A hot potato: In a rare story about a company that isn't Amazon pushing to replace its human workers with machines, Samsung is reportedly planning to make all its fabs fully automated within the next six years. The Korean giant has already begun development of a system that will lead to human-free facilities, according to a new report. Samsung Electronics...
The IFR’s use of the term “industrial robot” is based on the definition of the ISO: an “automatically controlled, reprogrammable multipurpose manipulator programmable in three or more axes” The International Organization for Standardization defines a “service robot” as a "robot in personal use or professional use that performs...

Rami Hakala and Tero Kujamäki from Wärtsilä have been part of the automation project since the very beginning. “We walk the talk. Our ambition is to decarbonize the marine and energy sectors, and we make our own operations as sustainable as they can get. We only produce per order and have made our single-piece flow just as efficient as high-volume...
Program Logic Controllers (PLCs) have played an integral role in industrial automation since their initial creation during the 1960s. Since then, we’ve seen incremental improvements to their form and function throughout the years. The problem? While PLCs are exceptional at […] The post Building the Next Generation of Smart PLCs With the ctrlX CORE...
The founding and expansion of Mercantile, 1901-1940s: Mercantile was founded in 1901 in Tampere, Finland, by a young businessman Charles Elmgren to import machinery and chemicals from Germany. Due to Elmgren’s illness and early death, the company was raised by his brother-in-law, Walter Greuling, to become one of the largest trade houses in...
To go deeper, let’s review the characteristics and trends of future CNC manufacturing in three levels: the entire industry, an individual manufacturer and shop floors. Please note most of the trends pose effects on many levels besides where they are placed below. Competitivity, shorter value chains and sustainability targets are...
At the Hanover Messe 2024 preview, industry experts gathered to discuss the transformative role of artificial intelligence and automation in shaping the future of industrial production. Recognizing that sustainability now means using renewable resources and eliminating fossil fuels, the key topics […] The post Navigating the New Industrial Era: Insights...
