Manufacturing Insights Podcast

Software can speed up value creation exponentially when engineers and cross-functional teams take a design to value approach to product development.

Neurodivergence can help engineering teams perceive new patterns in data. Digital tools can do the same thing. Companies should embrace both.

Automating product development through digitization has delivered amazing gains for Eaton both in time to market and innovation.

Artificial Intelligence and machine learning are transforming manufacturing as we know it. In this podcast, Panasonic’s veteran AI expert shares how companies today can harness the AI capacities of tomorrow.

Can the housing crisis be solved by sustainability design? When sustainability design is put towards the problem of building construction, the result is modular solutions that ship more cheaply and assemble more quickly.

If manufacturers want to reap the benefits of digital transformation, they need to have a single source of data accepted by everyone in the organization. MBD, or Model-Based Definition, creates that single source of truth. What is MBD? And how can it help you?

The promises of additive manufacturing include customization, weight reduction, and the benefit of bringing offshore production back in house. But what about the cost? How can you decide if additive is really for you? Robert Turck explains.

The global shortage of microchips has left engineering and sourcing teams scrambling to figure out how to bring smart products to market. Mechanical Engineer and PCB expert Sam Ellis describes how building contingency planning into the design process can risk-proof manufactures against future disruptions in the global supply chain.

A designer’s initial concept rarely matches up with what is efficient for manufacturing. To reduce time to market and maximize the value of labor, organizations need to help engineers test the feasibility of their designs before sending them to manufacture. Mark Rushton explains DFM, digital twins, and the power of the digital factory.

Design engineers can be the first line of defense against rising product costs, but only if they’re empowered by real-time data-driven models. Patrick O’Brien talks about the tools he wishes every designer had to save their companies cost overruns, engineering change orders, and unnecessary headaches.
