Regardless of whether or not there is a single or multiple points of connection between the two network environments, the objective of the security functions applied at these connection points is to control the flow of information across that barrier ...

A topic that is often not considered is the differences in the performance requirements between the IT and OT network environments.

The types of equipment connected to OT networks (manufacturing) are fundamentally different than the equipment connected to an IT network (office). This difference represents a whole new set of challenges for IT professions attempting to extend their ...

The quality and fidelity of simulation have evolved so dramatically that many manufacturers don’t even know what is possible to accomplish using simulation.

These are tools to achieve an end such as a reduction in cost or new opportunities that lead to more revenue. But what happens when the results are less than expected?

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...
