Industry 4.0

Industry 4.0 refers to a new phase in the Industrial Revolution that focuses heavily on interconnectivity, automation, machine learning, and real-time data. Industry 4.0, which encompasses IIoT and smart manufacturing, marries physical production and operations with smart digital technology, machine learning, and big data to create a more holistic and better-connected ecosystem for companies that focus on manufacturing and supply chain management.

5 Ways Industry 4.0 Tech is Improving, Not Replacing, Manufacturing Jobs

TROY - Hearing talk about AI technology and robot learning probably conjures images from The Matrix, but today’s tech is more about improving our workforce than robots taking it over. The manufacturing staffing model of yesterday has been upgraded to include automation for the benefit, not detriment, of manufacturing jobs. The future workforce will either upskill to

Scientists Claim Space Bubbles Could Reverse Climate Change

BOSTON - Scientists at MIT think they may have finally found a way to reverse climate change. Or, at the least, help ease it some. The idea revolves heavily around the creation and deployment of several thin film-like silicon bubbles. The “space bubbles” as they refer to them, would be joined together like a raft.
