Is U.S. manufacturing losing its toolbox?
Things seem to be going very well for American manufacturing. Since 2009, 1.2 million manufacturing jobs have been created. The fracking industry has significantly lowered energy costs. Unemployment has reached a low of 3.8%, and 145,000 jobs were re-shored in 2018.
Michigan invests in high-tech manufacturing talent
Michigan is taking steps to build on a tradition of innovation by investing in the workers, thinkers and leaders of tomorrow. This effort was on display last month at Lightweight Innovations for Tomorrow's Learning Lab summer bridge program, which allowed University Prep Science & Math High School students from Detroit to tour the building and meet manufacturers and educators.
How the manufacturing slowdown is impacting U.S. businesses
The economy is not just the stock market. A number of factors contribute to the overall health of the economy, and one of them is manufacturing. Although the jury is still out on whether a recession is coming for the broader economy, some people are concerned that a recession has arrived in the manufacturing sector.
Deep-hole drilling and automation make for productive work cells
Across every industry, manufacturers are working to meet growing customer demand in a globally competitive market. Despite a widening skills gap, by organizing advanced technology into highly optimized work cells, manufacturers are maximizing productivity through automation.
Teaching robots to build and use tools
Researchers at Georgia Institute of Technology developed robots that have the ability to reason about shape, function and attachment of unrelated parts. This lets the robots build basic tools by combining objects. The breakthrough is a significant step toward enabling intelligent agents to devise tools that could prove useful in hazardous situations.
Manufacturing jobs appeal more to Gen Z than millennials
A third of Generation Z — adults ages 18 to 22 — have had manufacturing suggested as a career option compared with 18% of millennials and 13% of the general adult population, according to a new study. Gen Z is 7% more likely to consider working in the manufacturing industry and 12% less likely to view it as in decline compared with the general population.
“Finally! The worlds first automatically adjustable fine boring head”
Rigibore's ActiveEdge Apex revolutionises fine boring, operating as a fully integrated, closed-loop solution to automatically compensate as the tool wears.
