Entities working toward continuous improvement and smoother operations management as well as users, builders, and developers of additive, automation, subtractive, workholding, and metrology have been making manufacturing technologies change...

When it comes to digital twins and digital threads, there is no widespread agreement what they are and how the can be expressed in terms of data artifacts. This presentation proposes a standards-based definitions...

NSF’s mission is to promote the progress of science to advance national health, prosperity and welfare. To fulfil this mission, the ENG directorate invests in engineering research and education to foster innovations for the benefit of society.

Additive subtracts costs. Implementing automation and the details that aren’t automatically addressed. The machine vision community offers some clarity on future challenges and more. Recycling powder for additive. Standards make the digital twin real.

In his presentation “Manufacturing Digital Twins: Understanding Digital Twins and How Standards Can Enable Them,” Jan de Nijs, LM Fellow for Enterprise Digital Production, Lockheed Martin, reviews the formal definition of the digital twin...

Blockchain enables a secure digital twin. The underlying components are secure real-time data streams through blockchain security, predictive failure, object detection, 3d models, process analytics, and remote operations.

The popularity of terms such as “digital thread”, “Industry 4.0”, and “Industrial Internet of Things” (IIoT) is emblematic of the technological advances in (and reducing costs of) sensing, computing, digitalization, data storage, and analytics.

The AMT Technology Forum will include presentations on the importance of industry standards, such as MTConnect and QIF, as well as the emerging standard for the digital twin, ISO/DIS 23247...

Semantic data models are an information systems technology that has been finding its way into the manufacturing world to address many of the issues, costs, and complexities associated with the configuration process. The models are used to enhance data...

A team of Physicists in New York have discovered a material that conducts electricity at room temperature with perfect efficiency – a long-awaited scientific milestone. The hydrogen, carbon and sulfur compound works as a superconductor at up to...
