Plant Engineering | How we work now
U.S. factory activity accelerated to its highest level in nearly 2-1/2 years in December 2020, according to Reuters, citing the latest edition of the Institute for Supply Chain Management’s (ISM’s) Semi-Annual Economic Forecast, issued January 19. The strength in manufacturing reported by ISM comes despite COVID-related absenteeism and short-term factory and supplier shutdowns to sanitize facilities. The ISM’s index of national factory activity increased to a reading of 60.7 last month.
How to write a maintenance task procedure
While asset maintenance analysis tools have become more sophisticated, providing simple, clear and actionable maintenance task procedures remain essential.

Prior to that, my company’s maintenance plan was “fix it when it breaks.” So where did I start? I found the technical publication for the asset I was tasked to maintain.
Nanowire could provide a stable superconducting transistor
MIT researchers are developing a superconducting nanowire, which could enable more efficient superconducting electronics. Courtesy: Christine Daniloff, MIT Superconductors – materials that conduct electricity without resistance — are remarkable. They provide a macroscopic glimpse into quantum phenomena, which are usually observable only at the atomic level. Beyond their physical peculiarity, superconductors are also useful.
Commitment to the work one constant in a changing world
The COVID-19 pandemic has had a major impact on plant engineers according to those who responded to the 2020 Plant Engineering Salary Survey. Courtesy: Plant Engineering Engineers, managers and technicians who took part in the 2020 Plant Engineering salary survey (see link to survey at bottom of this article) are a set of highly trained workers who, at an average age of 53 years old, take home an average of more than $100,000 a year in annual compensation.
