(IQVIA: Research Triangle Park, NC) -- IQVIA, a global provider of clinical research services, commercial insights, and healthcare intelligence, has announced that the global independent research and analysis firm Everest Group has named IQVIA a “front-runner generative AI leader” for the life…
Radar System Extends Signal Range at Millimeter-wave Frequencies
A team from MIT Lincoln Laboratory has built and demonstrated wide-band selective propagation radar (WiSPR), a system capable of seeing out various distances at millimeter-wave (mmWave or MMW) frequencies. Typically, these high frequencies, which range from 30 to 300 gigahertz (GHz), are employed…
Artificial Intelligence as a Quality Booster
(BMW Group: Regensburg, Germany) -- Can artificial intelligence (AI) make quality control in vehicle production more efficient, faster, and more reliable? A software solution developed at BMW Group Plant Regensburg as part of the “GenAI4Q” pilot project is making this a reality. At its core is an…

(SICK: Minneapolis) -- The new SIG300 IO-Link Master from SICK is setting the standard in terms of flexibility, connectivity, and user friendliness. This makes it a crucial component for efficient automation tasks. Special highlights include the integrated logic editor, which solves remote control…
Liquid Cooling Technology Addresses Excess Heat at Chip Level
What’s the hottest thing in electronics and high-performance computing? In a word, it’s “cool.” To be more precise, it’s a liquid cooling system developed at Georgia Tech for electronics and aimed at solving a long-standing problem: overheating. Developed by Daniel Lorenzini, a 2019 Tech graduate…
ForwardX Deploys 435 AMRs at Chery Automobile’s Dalian Factory
(ForwardX Robotics: Beijing) -- Tier-one suppliers are under pressure to move more parts more quickly and with greater precision than ever before. As automotive manufacturing grows increasingly complex, intralogistics solutions must adapt to a wide range of components, from delicate electronics to…
Facing Medtech Uncertainty
One of the key findings in Greenlight Guru’s 2025 Medical Device Industry Report was that economic uncertainty is playing a large role in the decisions medical device companies make this year. The report surveyed more than 500 medical device professionals across quality, regulatory, product…
89% of Industrial Companies Recognize the Digital Thread Is Essential to Success
(Aras: Andover, MA) -- Aras, a leader in product life cycle management (PLM) and digital thread solutions, has shared findings that emphasize the importance of establishing a strong digital thread in manufacturing and product development organizations. The insights come from Aras’ recent survey, “…
Robotic System Zeroes in on Objects Most Relevant for Helping Humans
For a robot, the real world is a lot to take in. Making sense of every data point in a scene can take a huge amount of computational effort and time. Using that information to then decide how to best help a human is an even thornier exercise. Now, MIT roboticists have a way to cut through the data…

(Viega: Broomfield, CO) -- Viega North America announces the latest additions to its product portfolio, adding globe, wafer check, and butterfly valves to its MegaPress and ProPress portfolio. Viega press technology works across a wide range of materials, applications, and configurations. These…
The Master Chef’s Guide to Focus
In a professional kitchen, no chef prepares a steak, a cake, and a casserole simultaneously with all the ingredients scattered across the counter. There’s a method: one recipe at a time, with only the ingredients needed for that specific dish. The same principle applies to how we work, especially…
Startupotopia
A few months ago I visited a potential customer, a high-tech startup, which like many Boston-area tech companies is developing astounding products that would have been considered science fiction only 10 years ago. The parking lot was half full at 8 a.m., but the entrance was locked to visitors, and…
University of Oklahoma and ORNL Launch Strategic Collaboration
(ORNL: Oak Ridge, TN) -- The University of Oklahoma and Oak Ridge National Laboratory, the U.S. Department of Energy’s largest multiprogram science and energy laboratory, have entered a strategic collaboration to establish a cutting-edge additive manufacturing center based in Norman, Oklahoma.…
Reduced Porosity Strengthens Large-Scale 3D Prints
(ORNL: Oak Ridge, TN) -- Scientists at Oak Ridge National Laboratory have developed a vacuum-assisted extrusion method that reduces internal porosity by up to 75% in large-scale 3D-printed polymer parts. Large-format additive manufacturing, or LFAM, enables the direct printing of meter-scale…
Leaders Can Shrink the Labor Gap, But Investment Is Needed
As a technology leader, I must admit that making the right investment in new innovations has its challenges. It’s easy to get caught up in the grandiose potential solutions offer, become overwhelmed by the setup, and struggle with employee adoption. For the last decade, I’ve worked with human-…
