We’ve touched on the technological side of manufacturing several times; it’s the future of the sector. But innovation has its drawbacks: perfection takes time, and a global technological revolution isn’t easy. E-waste, faulty AI, and grid limitations, all of which we’ll explore in this round, are just a few of the hurdles manufacturing must overcome. But an easier, cleaner, and safer future makes it worth the trouble.

The UltraView Cameras allow users to instantly pinpoint leaks and detect partial discharge from a safe distance, displaying locations on the screen in real-time. Ignored partial discharge and air leaks can lead to many problems such as a dangerous work environment, increased energy costs, reduced efficiency, premature equipment wear, and unplanned downtime. Detect problems before it's too late!

Government funding, such as the CHIPS Act, will play a key role in the expansion.
Over the past decade, the sector has embraced robots, digital twins, IIoT, and more.
