Unless you’ve lived under a rock, you’re likely aware that many industries, especially manufacturing, increasingly rely on automation technologies.

The expansion of today’s concrete jungles is accelerating at an unprecedented pace and shows no sign of slowing any time soon.

The COVID-19 pandemic has touched virtually every facet of daily life, from how we work and socialize, to how we purchase goods.

Manufacturers present a huge opportunity for Canada's economic future.

The Internet of Things (IoT) has quickly grown from a futuristic idea or concept into reality as the number of connected devices and systems grows exponentially each year.

Imagine working on a job that poses a serious risk to your health and safety—perhaps carrying close to 10 pounds of weight 350 times a day.

The potential that smart factories have to completely transform our world cannot be understated.

The global COVID-19 pandemic saw a massive shift in US manufacturing, with some industries seeing an increase in demand, and others experiencing a sharp decline.

“Winona” was facing a unique problem. She has been working as the Director of Sales and Operations of a local retail chain.

Robots have been a fascination in our society, dominating pop culture through TV and movies for decades. But it’s likely that the general population is only vaguely aware of industrial robots and the global brands that manufacture them. 

Robots have been growing in use in the industrial world since the early 1970s. They’re continuing to be deployed and utilized within the industrial sector, but also increasingly in other sectors as 2021 continues.

1. Fourth Industrial Revolution or Industry 4.0

In recent years, we’ve grown accustomed to the integration of smart technologies into our everyday lives.

Keeping up with the technology changes in the manufacturing/industrial industry is important to stay relevant in your job/career.

​Autonomous vehicles, once relegated to works of science fiction and, more recently, among the technologies that “weren’t quite there yet”, are a

The Fourth Industrial Revolution, or Industry 4.0, is constantly and rapidly evolving. New technological advancements in industrial smart factories seem to be happening all the time.

To the general public, the concept of artificial intelligence (AI) is an aspect of science that lives on the periphery of our understanding.

It is no secret that Canada’s economy is deeply rooted in the services and natural resources sectors. Nor is it a secret that until recently manufacturing has slowly ebbed away from domestic shores following the promise of cheaper labour abroad.

As automation, artificial intelligence (AI) and robotics improve, it may be increasingly tempting to employ automatic means to accomplish industry goals. The degree to which a task is automated is referred to as levels of automation (LOA).

The beginning of this, the third decade of the new millennium, may have started out rather bleak, but it does not mean that things like innovation or advances in technology have come to a grinding halt.
