Shock to the System: Reviving Decision-Making in a VUCA World
Maartje van Krieken
Your market is shifting, your competitor just pulled ahead, and the one person who could execute the next move has resigned. You can’t get more data fast enough, yet the window to act is closing. In today’s volatile, uncertain, complex, and ambiguous (VUCA) world, this is the moment that defines…
Buy, Boost, or Build?
Kristin Burnham
Organizations are eager to benefit from generative artificial intelligence. But in the rush to deploy AI to meet business goals, some companies jump in without fully weighing whether it’s best to buy an existing model, purchase a model and enhance it with their own data, or build a custom AI…
Rethinking Purpose: When Organizations Stop Having and People Start Being
Harish Jose
In this article I’m looking at the notion of organizational purposes in light of cybernetic constructivism. The ideas here are inspired by giants like Stafford Beer, Spencer Brown, Ralph Stacey, Werner Ulrich, Russell Ackoff, and Erik Hollnagel. The corporate world seems to be obsessed with…
Massive Magnets Are on the Move
Brookhaven National Laboratory
Plan a route, grab some snacks, and fuel up. Engineers and scientists have been sending massive magnets from U.S. Department of Energy (DOE) national labs on cross-country road trips. Magnets are at the heart of many scientific instruments at the DOE’s Brookhaven National Laboratory. They aren’t…
Portable Manual Metrology in an Increasingly Automated World
Anthony Vianna
There’s a lot of talk about automation these days, not just in manufacturing circles but also the news in general. As the demands of modern manufacturing grow more complex, and manufacturing industries continue their digital transformation—with automation playing an ever-expanding role—where does…
AI-Ready Manufacturing: Data, Quality, and the Digital Future
Quality Digest, Jason Chester
Today, manufacturing is largely shaped by supply chain volatility, complex labor dynamics, and—like most global industries—the rise of AI. Adopting AI technologies on the shop floor can help manufacturers minimize operational costs, mitigate risk, and optimize processes, which drives efficiency and…
Exascale Simulations Underpin Quake-Resistant Infrastructure Design
Oak Ridge National Laboratory
Simulations still can’t predict precisely when an earthquake will happen. Still, with the incredible processing power of modern exascale supercomputers, they can now predict how they will happen and how much damage they will likely cause.  Imagine a colossal earthquake strikes the California coast…
Lessons From GAMP 5
Walter Nowocin
Software selection, implementation, and ongoing maintenance are critical stages in the life cycle of biomedical software systems such as asset and calibration management platforms. Yet few industry resources provide detailed, practical guidance for managing these processes effectively. One notable…
Tiny Fans on the Feet of Water Bugs Could Lead to Energy Efficient Mini Robots
Enterprise Innovation Institute at Georgia Tech
A new study explains how tiny water bugs use fan-like propellers to zip across streams at speeds up to 120 body lengths per second. The researchers then created a similar fan structure and used it to propel and maneuver an insect-sized robot. “Scientists thought the bugs used their muscles to…
Inside the Gen AI Workshops Sparking a Paradigm Shift
Gleb Tsipursky
Imagine a bustling conference room where employees aren’t just listening to lectures but actively experimenting with cutting-edge tools, tackling real-world challenges and discovering new ways to revolutionize their workflows. That’s the transformative power of workshops focused on generative AI (…
Preparing Your Quality System for AI-Enabled Asset Management
Judy Fainor
What if your quality system could detect and initiate corrective actions for equipment deviations before they affect product quality? It’s a compelling vision—and one that’s becoming increasingly achievable through AI-enabled automation. But let’s be clear: We’re not there yet. What we do have is…
Aligning Security and Quality Priorities in the ICT Sector
Mike Regan
In July 2024, CrowdStrike rolled out a software update that crashed more than 8 million Windows systems worldwide. The faulty release disrupted hospitals, grounded flights, halted banking operations, and affected government services. Comparable to a major cyberattack, the incident caused more than…
Effective Operations Hack: Live Satellite Images With Global Coverage
Kateryna Sergieieva
Organizations today face a problem that’s both simple and enormous: They operate in a world that moves faster than the systems used to track it. Shipping bottlenecks appear overnight, suppliers run into trouble without warning, and crops or energy grids can shift dramatically in just a few days. In…
AI-Powered Quality Control
Carl Lewis
Manufacturers are making more types of products than ever before. According to Deloitte’s Consumer Products Industry Outlook, 95% of consumer product executives report that launching new products is a top priority this year, and 67% are allocating more resources to developing truly novel offerings…
New Research Could Lead to Greener, Faster Metal Production
Brookhaven National Laboratory
Most metals found in nature are actually in their oxide forms. To extract those metals to use in critical applications—ranging from infrastructure such as bridges and buildings to advanced technologies like airplanes, semiconductors, or even quantum materials—those oxides must be reduced with gases…
AI ‘Co-Pilot’ Can Reduce Prescription Errors That Put Patients at Risk
Sachin Waikar
Take two aspirin and call me in the morning: If only prescribing medications were as simple as that. In reality, the prescription process involves many players and steps. Details must be accurately spelled out, interpreted, and double-checked to ensure patients get the correct drug and dosage. “…
The Death of Work-Life Balance
Dottie DeHart
Work-life balance is tough, and for most of us, it’s starting to feel like a thing of the past. Companies are demanding longer hours and increased productivity. Remote workers are being called back to the office, and the ones still at home are stuck in “always on” mode. With layoffs happening left…
Tips on Adopting 3D Scanning and Automation
Creaform
C hallenges abound for today’s manufacturers. Labor shortages and rising labor costs require innovative solutions to maintain productivity with fewer staff. Inflation continues to exert pressure on raw material costs, squeezing margins. Manufacturers are also racing against tight production…
Wearable, Implantable, and Ingestible Medical Devices
Kamran Sayrafian
A few years ago, I heard on the news that many people were being hospitalized with a condition of excess fluid in the lungs, called pulmonary edema. It’s common in elderly patients. Pulmonary edema is dangerous and can lead to breathing difficulties and lung failure. Because it has the potential to…

University of Perugia Validates New Dental 3D-Printing Materials
Paul Hanaphy
The dental industry is seeing a surge in 3D printing, with the technology enabling a growing number of dentists to rapidly create custom implants in clinics around the world. When it comes to customizing implants like dental crowns, bridges, guides, and aligners, 3D printing is faster, more…
The ‘Productivity Paradox’ of AI Adoption in Manufacturing Firms
Kristin Burnham
Companies that adopt industrial artificial intelligence see productivity losses before longer-term gains, according to new research. Organizations have long viewed artificial intelligence as a way to achieve productivity gains. But recent research about AI adoption at U.S. manufacturing firms…
Theory-Guided Strategy Expands Scope of Measurable Quantum Interactions
Adam Zewe
A new theory-guided framework could help scientists probe the properties of new semiconductors for next-generation microelectronic devices or discover materials that boost the performance of quantum computers. Research to develop new or better materials typically involves investigating properties…
