Buy, Boost, or Build?
Organizations are eager to benefit from generative artificial intelligence.
Rethinking Purpose: When Organizations Stop Having and People Start Being
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.

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.
Portable Manual Metrology in an Increasingly Automated World
There’s a lot of talk about automation these days, not just in manufacturing circles but also the news in general.
AI-Ready Manufacturing: Data, Quality, and the Digital Future
Today, manufacturing is largely shaped by supply chain volatility, complex labor dynamics, and—like most global industries—the rise of AI.
Exascale Simulations Underpin Quake-Resistant Infrastructure Design

This illustration featuring earthquake simulation data from the San Francisco Bay Area shows how seismic energy is shaped and directed by local geology, and how buildings and infrastructure respond to intense ground shaking.
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.
Lessons From GAMP 5
Software selection, implementation, and ongoing maintenance are critical stages in the life cycle of biomedical software systems such as asset and calibration management platforms.
Tiny Fans on the Feet of Water Bugs Could Lead to Energy Efficient Mini Robots

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.
Inside the Gen AI Workshops Sparking a Paradigm Shift
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.
Preparing Your Quality System for AI-Enabled Asset Management
What if your quality system could detect and initiate corrective actions for equipment deviations before they affect product quality?
