Process manufacturers in 2023 have an abundance of digital systems. But are they truly a success for workers on the line? Do they truly connect people, data and assets to give you a 360 degree view of plant activity? Where does MES fit into this?

From Automation World
The reason could be in how they're implemented. Adopting the sprint implementation strategy from software developers may be the remedy.
From Smart Industry
Manufacturers must go beyond overall equipment effectiveness dashboards to improve asset health and process yields, throughput, and sustainability.
The tech world and industrial IT and OT are abuzz over the possibilities of generative AI, which is nascent and still coming into use and thus must be approached with caution for its applications in digital transformation.
From Plant Services
Sheila Kennedy says novel monitoring and measurement solutions increase accuracy and operational efficiency.
From Electronic Design
Microchip is expanding its Automotive Technology Center in Detroit to focus more on EV power electronics. In this Q&A, Electronic Design talks with two company representatives about the project.
From American Machinist
The automakers are seeking alternatives for the permanent magnets used in EV motors due to the cost and supply-chain problems surrounding the critical materials needed to produce them – and a Minnesota business is commercializing a possible solution.
