As sustainability becomes a strategic priority, manufacturers are leveraging AI technologies to optimize operations, reduce emissions, and build more resilient supply chains.
Designing sustainability into products, optimizing energy, creating predictive quality systems, and optimizing the supply chain are examples of AI-enabled programs that drive the triple bottom line.
Supply chain expert, Lisa Anderson, explains why successful planning requires process, people, data and cross-functional alignment — not just technology.
ASTM International will hold an organizational meeting on March 4–5, 2026, to explore the potential establishment of a new ASTM Technical Committee on Artificial Intelligence in Manufacturing Systems.
Compared to conventional dispensing robots, modern automated machinery represents a significant technological leap forward. However, artificial intelligence may soon render it outdated.
Artificial intelligence, machine learning, and 3D computer vision technology will revolutionize how the dispensing of adhesives and sealants is performed.
When teamed with a laser-based 3D computer vision system, AI and machine learning can dramatically increase assembly-line throughput and reduce scrap while improving overall product quality.
