Another compelling reason for “precision manufacturing”: saving planet
In the space of an hour today I heard a horrifying show on On Point about how the planet is going to hell in a handbasket, then had a very inspiring lunch with Michael Woody of American Dragon, which shows businesses how to bring manufacturing jobs back to the US through a formula of Fewer, Faster, […]
High-speed 3D Printer & IoT Could Really Revolutionize Design & Manufacturing
There’s a new high-speed 3D printer on the horizon which, coupled with the IoT, could really revolutionize product design and manufacturing.
I’ve raved in the past about 3D printing’s revolutionary potential, but I’ll admit I was still thinking primarily in terms of rapid prototyping and one-off repair parts. Now, according to Bloomberg, HP is going to […]
Industry Week Survey: Most Manufacturers Don’t Get IoT
A new Industry Week survey shows that most manufacturers are, at best, just testing the IoT waters, and few have made the management changes necessary that show they understand the IoT’s revolutionary potential to change every aspect of their products, manufacturing, and even their management.
The survey, “The Internet of Things: Finding the Path to Value,” […]
Testing the IoT Waters: 1st Steps in Creating an IoT Corporate Strategy
What if you’re interested in the Internet of Things, but are a little scared of making a major commitment and making major expenditures until you build your familiarity level and start to enjoy some tangible results?
That concern is understandable, especially when prognosticators such as I emphasize what a transformational impact the IoT will have on every […]
Intel’s IoT tech improves its own manufacturing efficiency
This demonstration IoT manufacturing project hits my buttons!
I love IoT-enabled manufacturing (what I call “precision manufacturing“) and I REALLY love companies (such as GE, at its Durathon battery plant) that eat their own dogfood by applying their IoT technology internally. Gotta walk the talk!
That’s why I was happy to learn how Intel is applied its own IoT technology […]
I’ll be on “Game Changer” Radio Today @ 3 EST Talking About IoT
Huzzah! I’ll be a guest on Bonnie Graham’s “Coffee Break With Game Changers” show live, today @ 3 PM to discuss the Internet of Things.
Other guests will include David Jonker, sr. director of Big Data Initiatives at SAP, and Ira Berk, vice-president of Solutions Go-to-market at SAP, who has global responsibility for the IoT infrastructure and middleware portfolio.
Among other […]
Global Warming: The IoT Can Help Fill Some of the Gap Due to Government Inaction
I won’t dwell on politics here, but 97% of scientists agree that global warming is real, and, according to the latest United National report this month, it is worse than ever (according to the NYTimes,
“The gathering risks of climate change are so profound that they could stall or even reverse generations of progress against poverty and hunger if […]
Why the Internet of Things Will Bring Fundamental Change “What Can You Do Now That You Couldn’t Do Before?”
The great Eric Bonabeau has chiseled it into my consciousness that the test of whether a new technology really brings about fundamental change is to always ask “What can you do now that you couldn’t do before?”
That’s certainly the case for the Tesla alternative last winter to a costly, time-consuming, and reputation-staining recall (dunno: I […]
My speech on how the Internet of Things will aid Predictive Analytics
I spoke yesterday at the Predictive Analytics Manufacturing conference in Chicago, about a theme I first raised in the O’Reilly SOLID blog, about how the Internet of Things could bring about an “era of precision manufacturing.”
I argued that, as powerful as Predictive Analytics tools have been in analyzing manufacturing data and improving forecasting, their effectiveness […]

I want to congratulate you on an amazing job with implementing Predictive Analytics.
As the presentations during this conference have demonstrated, a combination of P.A. software and your insightful analysis has helped companies build smarter supply chains, […]
