From the inspiration.jimcarroll.com vaults, first posted on December 5th, 2023 - East Penn Manufacturing – “The AI Opportunity in Manufacturing” – Lehigh, Pennsylvania This company is one of North America's leading manufacturer of automotive batteries. Jim took more than 200 representatives of their leadership team into a detailed voyage into the opportunity and challenge for AI in manufacturing, including trends with cobots/robotics, machine vision for product quality inspection, accelerated manufacturing methodologies, new digital twin design technologies, and more. https://lnkd.in/gYHemptE

?? Transforming Manufacturing: The $17.4 Billion Vision Revolution Picture a world where machines have eyes that never blink, catching the tiniest flaws invisible to humans. This isn't science fiction—it's the reality of computer vision in manufacturing, and it's reshaping industries. Global computer vision market is set to reach $17.4 billion by 2026, growing at 7% annually Unprecedented accuracy: AI-powered systems detect defects human eyes miss Productivity boost: One manufacturer saw OEE jump from 78% to 87% post-implementation Cost-savings: Reduced labor costs, minimized errors, and decreased waste Real-world impact: Automotive, electronics, and packaging industries seeing transformative results From spotting microscopic defects on car surfaces to ensuring flawless circuit board assembly, computer vision is ushering in a new era of quality control. As companies embrace this technology, they are not just improving products—they are redefining what's possible in manufacturing. We at Jet Ventures strongly believe in machine vision as the next big thing in quality control in industrial applications. One question remains: Will Central Europe with its industrial tradition see the next Unicorn in this field? #ComputerVision #ManufacturingInnovation #QualityControl #IndustryRevolution #JetVentures

The Economist is currently showcasing a great 4-part article series about #DigitalTwins. ? Digital Twins are …: 1) fast becoming part of everyday life, 2) speeding up manufacturing, 3) enabling scientific innovation, 4) making companies more efficient. ? At the University of Twente, we have been using digital twins (i.e., digital representations of a part of the physical world) in research and teaching for a long time. For example, students build digital twins of Formula 1 cars (also an example in the Economist article), and we have multiple ongoing research projects in logistics and supply chains based on digital twins. Digital twins offer an effective vehicle to model, monitor, simulate, and optimize organizations and their processes.

Random questions I have going into IMTS - International Manufacturing Technology Show next week: - How much are the additive manufacturing companies focused on replacing traditional manufacturing vs. enabling production of parts previously not produceable? - How much will we see of hybrid additive-subtractive solutions and collaboration between traditional mfg giants and AM players? - Will the AI buzz extend beyond machine learning to GenAI? Does it need to? What about the intersection of GenAI and factory floor digital twins? - How does distributed manufacturing co-exist with increasingly complex, advanced (expensive) smart factories? - Will there be more announcements of industrial systems makers shifting production of some of their own systems to the U.S. to boost their "reindustrializing America" creds? - What are we doing to help midsized manufacturers actually make the (significant) investments in some of these advanced manufacturing solutions so they can participate in these growth opps in new space, defense, etc.?

In a lively #WomeninManufacturing panel discussion about how advances in automation, robotics, and AI are informing factory floor and workforce investments, Sarah Hartwick, VP of Education & Workforce Policy at Illinois Manufacturers' Association talks about the challenges of trying to predict the skills and abilities that the workforce is going to need over the next 10 to 15 years. She also introduced the #MakeItInIllinois initiative that officially launched yesterday on October 1st. Anne Najjar, VP of AbbVie Endocrinology Inc., talks about how pharma is improving in speed and agility. Abbvie went from having ~30 products to 170 products, tripled it's development portfolio, and is accelerating internal digitalization because its primary goal is to deliver life saving medicine. Karen Freeman-Wilson, President and CEO, Chicago Urban League, shares her story about visiting the GM Bedford Foundry to do a die cast study and how after 3 days, she decided to pivot and head to Harvard University. She talks about how this is an exciting time in manufacturing- with advanced manufacturing and the cutting edge technology that is integrating into manufacturing plants, there is an opportunity for young people to have successful careers in manufacturing fields without needing an expensive 4-year degree. Special Thanks to mHUB Vice President of Programs & Engagement Shannon McGhee for introducing these awesome professionals! #WiM2024 #mHUBinnovation #automation #workforcedevelopment #AI #manufacturing #manufacturingmonth #medtech #robotics #factoryfloor #smartfactory #smartmanufacturing #sustainability #sustainablemanufacturing #advancedmanufacturing

?? Excited to share our latest publication! Thrilled to announce that our paper, " Machine Learning Technique for Rubber Bush Simulation" (SAE#2024-28-0027), was published on October 17, 2024, with Society of Automotive Engineering (SAE). This research explores a cutting-edge ML approach to model the complex behaviours of rubber bushings used in vehicle motor mounts, enhancing accuracy by accounting nonlinear, time-dependent properties. By training ML model on experimental data, we're improving predictive stiffness models, enabling more precise design and performance in automotive engineering. https://lnkd.in/dG8dPPtK #SAE2024#MachineLearning#Automotive Engineering#RubberBushSimulation#Innovation

#TGIF, Everyone! After a great week in Pittsburgh talking about the bright future ahead for advanced manufacturing and cutting-edge technology breakthroughs here in the US, I thought I would take a deeper look at some of the efforts behind the scenes?to make that happen. First, we need to examine something that can kill manufacturing innovation before it even gets out of bed. This is the gap between government and academic research and actually creating a viable product that can go into production, which is referred to as "the valley of death." To address this gap, the US created the Manufacturing USA Institute network. This growing network of institutes addresses key technologies like additive manufacturing, robotics, semiconductors, and soon AI. They bring key stakeholders on both the research and production side and build the bridges to cross that "valley of death" and get more market solutions. The institutions also work to train and upskill new workers on how to leverage these new technologies to keep the US as a global leader in both manufacturing and innovation.
