Conversations about digital transformation often focus on technology. Advancements in AI, software, the Internet of Things (IoT) and automation are supposed to, almost magically, transform legacy and manual processes into smarter, connected systems.
So how’s that working out? Not well, by many accounts.
Dozens of research reports detail the plague...
Four virtual modules designed to help youth “test drive” an emerging career in manufacturing are now available for students in grades K-12.
MxD and Springpod, an online career education platform, partnered to create the short, on-demand virtual work experience modules, called “Sprints.” The free modules are available here.
“Manufacturing offers...

America Makes, Youngstown, Ohio, and the National Center for Defense Manufacturing and Machining (NCDMM) announced two new project calls worth over $35 million. Both are funded by the Office of the Under Secretary of Defense, Manufacturing Technology Office (OSD ManTech).
For decades, scaling the bioeconomy has meant building bigger and bigger facilities.
Larger fermentors. Larger separation trains. More pumps, columns, centrifuges, and stainless-steel piping. Each step adds cost, complexity, and risk. For startups trying to commercialize a new biological process, the most dangerous obstacle often isn’t engineering...
When Anthropic open-sourced the Model Context Protocol (MCP) late last year, it sent shockwaves through the industrial software ecosystem. Anthropic initiated a new wave of modernization by providing a standardized “universal translator” that allows AI agents to securely connect to enterprise data sources. In effect, it solved a major connectivity...
