Kistler Expands U.S. footprint with New West Coast Regional Hub
Swiss-based sensor manufacturer Kistler Instrument Corp., with U.S. facilities in Amherst, NY, and Novi, MI, has strengthened its long-term commitment to the United States by opening a new site in Irvine, CA. The new site enables closer collaboration with manufacturers and serves as a regional hub for strategic partnerships, technical consulting, customer engagement and local talent development.
Retroreflective Area Sensor with IO-Link Detects Objects Regardless of Shape or Size
Pepperl+Fuchs, Twinsburg, OH, has introduced the model R305 retroreflective area sensor for reliable detection of thin and irregularly shaped objects from a height of just 2 mm. The R305 reportedly outperforms the single-point light beams of traditional retroreflective sensors, detecting very small or narrow objects not precisely aligned with the point-shaped detection area.
How AI is Used for Demand Forecasting in Automotive Manufacturing
This 3-min. video from TalkingTech Trends explores the role of artificial intelligence (AI) in demand forecasting within the automotive-manufacturing sector. Understand the significance of machine-learning technologies, including advanced models that enhance forecast accuracy over time. Now, OEMs can adapt their production plans based on the latest market trends and consumer behaviors, resulting in significant cost savings, improved inventory management and increased supply-chain resilience.
Kickstarting Your Digital Transformation
3. What current solutions address the ongoing skilled-labor shortage? The lack of personnel availability and reliability is a huge problem. Automation technology, such as the ARS, provides a sustainable solution as automatic tool change can optimize the logistics and production process. Another great example is Metris Smart Assist, a digital solution that allows press shops to set up dies and manufacture parts more efficiently than ever.
Clearing Faults Press-Control Tales from the Shop Floor
Don’t Add More Pain to Nuisance Faults Excessive faults not only inhibit steady production but also cause operator frustration. These repeated “nuisance” faults can occur in complex die-protection systems designed to ensure part, tooling and press safety. These systems often rely on multiple sensors to confirm that materials and components are correctly positioned before die closure.
Press-Control Upgrades Delete Downtime
This led, in 2017, to Pridgeon & Clay-Grand Rapids’ first press-control retrofit through Toledo Integrated Systems, Maumee, OH. “I found that our Mexico plant had installed a Toledo Integrated control earlier, so we researched that,” Wolverton continues.
