Advanced Manufacturing (Page 3)

This past September, EWI was awarded a $17 million, 3-year contract with the U.S. Air Force to develop convergent manufacturing (CM) platforms for maintenance, repair, and overhaul (MRO) sustainment. The project is now being managed under the auspices of the Air Force Research Laboratory (AFRL). Technical development work is already taking place at EWI’s labs...

EWI’s innovative work in developing tele-manufacturing has received a lot of industry attention from both the government and commercial sectors. The groundbreaking technology and systems that enable manufacturing operations and processes to be conducted between remote locations are poised to change the way manufacturing is done throughout the world…and possibly beyond! The cutting-edge R&D that...

Industry 4.0 systems use the Industrial Internet of Things (IIoT), real-time monitoring, digital twin and process standards, human-machine interfacing, and big data analytics to optimize manufacturing operations. For small and medium-sized manufacturers (SMMs), however, it can be hard to find ways to use IIoT tools. Recently, EWI created a productivity dashboard to help SMMs to...
