Smart Manufacturing Comic Book

by

To promote the industry, the first Friday of every October is National Manufacturing Day. This year over 1200 events have been planned  – a chance for manufacturers to open their doors to children, families and their community.

A few industry facts, published by National Association of Manufacturers:

  1. For every $1.00 spent in manufacturing, another $1.89 is added to the economy.
  2. In 2016, the average manufacturing worker in the United States earned $82,023 annually, including pay and benefits.
  3. Manufacturers have one of the highest percentages of workers who are eligible for health benefits provided by their employer.
  4. Over the next decade, nearly 3.5 million manufacturing jobs will likely be needed, and 2 million are expected to go unfilled due to the skills gap.
  5. Taken alone, manufacturing in the United States would be the ninth-largest economy in the world.

 

Check out what global software company PTC  created as their contribution toward…”Inspir(ing) young people by demonstrating that manufacturing in a smart connected world is filled with technology, advanced skills, and creativity.”

Download their FREE pdf comic book, as well as its associated App (available for iOS and Android) .

Open the app and point your device’s camera at a target image on the pages of the comic book to launch the augmented reality experience and make the superheroes come to life.

Subsea Fiber Optics by Photonics Spectra Magazine

by

As March 1st greets a good portion of the Northeastern US with snow, a quiet Friday afternoon allows us to get caught up on some reading.  

Photonics Spectra is a lovely magazine worth a LOOK if you are interested in light-based technologies.  (Quick plug to them – you can sign up for a free subscription through the link above.)

The article below caught my eye and I ended up taking the time to read it word for word – a huge compliment over the skim read most articles receive. 

Subsea Fiber Optics article published by Photonics Spectra Magazine

An interesting look at the past/present means of data transmission via the deep blue sea, the article reminded me of times – no so long ago – when the spec sheets I was emailed from a colleague in the Netherlands would have taken A LOT longer to arrive. The uses for fiber optic technology seem endless and the estimated 745,645.43 miles of fiber cables currently being used to transport data under the sea is mind boggling… doesn’t most data get transmitted via satellites? Read the article to find out the percentages between the two. 

As you might guess, the team at FMA does not deal directly with anything subsea. We do, however, know a lot about fiber technology used in metal fabrication machinery and are currently preparing  a Mazak 6kW fiber laser  to demo at our May 2019 Open House… an entirely different use for fiber technology and one mostly likely relevant to you. 

I hope you enjoy this read as a welcome break from the norm. And for those who enjoy fiber technology – we will see you May 21st through 23rd at our fiber laser seminars!
