A frequent topic of discussion during OpExChange plant visits is the scarcity of skilled workers. How do you effectively preserve the valuable knowledge and expertise possessed by long-serving employees, ensuring it can be passed down to newer generations of workers? During a recent visit to the Stanley Black & Decker (SB&D) plant in Fort Mill, […]
Manufacturers in the automotive and aerospace sectors have always been measured on the quality of their products, the efficiency of their standards from design and production to the delivery of their goods and services. And you’d better be fast, you’d better be good, and you’d better be able to do it more than once. Making […]
Industry 4.0, the Internet of Things, computerization, cobots and robots. Automated production lines, distribution centers and supply lines. This is the future of manufacturing. This is the endgame for automation. Improved efficiencies, production and distribution standards have been altered forever by automated processes, whether they are in robotics or computerized control. Today, manufacturers in automotive, […]
The automated state of modern manufacturing Right now, manufacturing facilities and their logistics’ centers are automating to not only produce and deliver products with improved efficiencies; they are replacing their manual services to keep up with the industry and their leading competitors. Contemporary manufacturers are technology driven. What was once an industry held together by […]
Industry needs shift to technical engineering and design Contemporary manufacturers are transforming up and down the supply chain, as the means in which goods are engineered, produced, and distributed can now operate on their own. The innovation and application of robotics, digital and automated solutions have connected the industry and pushed efficiency standards higher across […]
Drug shortages have plagued the health care system for decades. Even prior to COVID-19, hospitals incurred more than $400 million in labor costs and alternative treatment options due to national generic drug shortages, especially for those administered via injection. More important, research shows shortages lead to adverse patient outcomes – things like delaying critical procedures, […]

Clemson University is adding to its portfolio of artificial intelligence research with a new project aimed at protecting next-generation AI systems from attacks without sacrificing the systems’ performance, accuracy or complexity. The new project is led by Yingjie Lao, an assistant professor in the Holcombe Department of Electrical and Computer Engineering. A $500,000 CAREER award […]
Artificial intelligence already recommends movies to viewers, filters spam out of inboxes and suggests friends on social media. Now the technology and some of its creators are going to work to help teachers and students in South Carolina’s K-12 education system. Two recent projects have given researchers in Clemson University’s School of Computing a chance […]
Clemson University is strengthening its ability to conduct research and offer courses in artificial intelligence, a fast-rising technology that is beginning to revolutionize industries ranging from advanced manufacturing to healthcare. About 80 faculty members are banding together to launch the new Clemson Artificial Intelligence Research Institute for Science and Engineering, or AIRISE. Clemson researchers have […]
