An AI journey on an offshore oil and gas platform
The case study demonstrates how artificial intelligence (AI) and machine learning can transform operations, decision-making and cost optimization on an oil platform.
Putting the heat on battery recycling
The process consumes about half as much energy, 95% fewer chemicals and incurs significantly lower costs compared to existing methods.
Southco launches EC Damping Hinge
The hinge uses an embedded torque engine to generate resistance only when needed the most, so the panels are easy to move but nearly impossible to slam shut.
Next generation surface treatment with atmospheric pressure plasma
Discover how Plasmatreat's Openair-Plasma technology provides surface treatment solutions that meet the strict demands of modern manufacturing.
The innovative solutions that target impacts of AI in PCB manufacture and assembly
MacDermid Alpha offers a broad portfolio across circuit board assembly, board-level interconnects and thermal management, with a strong emphasis on process compatibility and reliability.
The dirty truth about clean manufacturing: Fluid power maintenance
Waste is minimized not by replacing entire assemblies, but by renewing high-wear internal elements.
Austria’s Semmering Railway: A landmark achievement in civil engineering
The leap from pioneering flat tracks made of iron rails across tame English farmland to carving switchback-free routes through Austrian mountains was nothing short of, well, radical.
New Chip Vac filter bag offers enhanced filtration and improved durability
This purpose-built filter material was specifically engineered for filtration applications and rated to filter particles as small as 30 microns.
Rethinking 'standard' occupants: How inclusive testing improves auto safety
Crash test dummies, called “anthropomorphic test devices”, were first developed for the military in 1949, then adopted by the automotive industry in the mid-1960s.
What powers ExxonMobil’s new base-stock technology in Singapore?
The technology confirms that resid-to-lubes is a commercially viable flow scheme when paired with on-site residue-to-hydrogen and a feed-flexible integrated complex.
Factories with Flavor (Dec. 7-13)
Join us as we explore the complex, high-tech world hidden behind food and beverage manufacturing. Devour this content, but try not to get hungry.
Renewable energy heats up desalination process
A thermally driven reverse osmosis process that eschews reliance on fossil fuels has been demonstrated as a sustainable seawater desalination route.
How nuclear waste can fuel hydrogen production
While it may seem counterintuitive to value nuclear waste as a source of renewable fuel, this environmental liability may offer a promising resource for hydrogen production.
The Ganges River is drying faster than ever — Here’s what it means for the region and the world
Climate change, shifting monsoons, relentless extraction and damming are pushing the mighty river toward collapse.
Leftovers to feed aircraft: Fuel for flight
Discarded food from processing plants need not be fodder for landfills. The scraps can be converted into sustainable aviation fuel.
Breweries’ waste yeast turned into eco-friendly textile fibers
The leftover yeast biomass from alcohol and drug production, which is oftentimes classified as a waste, is made up of elements like proteins, fatty lipids and sugars. As such, the team created a sustainable, protein-based fiber from this waste material.
What we learned at Automation Fair 2025
If this tradeshow proved anything, it’s that automation continues to evolve at a pace that challenges and motivates engineers everywhere. Here are five things we learned this week at Automation Fair 2025.
Emerson relaunches ASCO series 327C solenoid valve with enhanced features for improved operational efficiency
Balanced poppet construction permits high flows at minimum power levels, making it ideal for power plants, refineries and chemical processing facilities.
Compact powerhouses with versatile configurability
With a diameter of 14 mm, these portfolio additions open up new possibilities for modern, space-saving drive solutions.
Mitsubishi Electric Automation, Inc. launches comprehensive CNC software package to monitor citizen machine data in real time
The adapter captures live machine data, empowering manufacturers to make smarter, faster decisions without replacing existing equipment.
