Discrete Manufacturers combine parts and subsystems to produce a product—whether it’s a computer chip or an automobile—by passing it through a series of individual machines or work cells. These highly automated operations involve Robotics, Motion Control, Vision Systems, programmable controllers and ...

Continuous Processing operations require non-stop consumption of raw materials and energy to produce a product, such as oil or glass. Batch (or discontinuous) Processing is similarly automated, but products come out in batches. Read about developments in Process Automation and Control, Instruments & ...

Smart Manufacturing is ushering industrial operations into the Fourth Industrial Revolution Era, or Industry 4.0. Read about the Industrial Internet of Things (IIoT), Manufacturing Digitalization, Engineering Simulation, Cloud and Edge Computing, Data Analytics, and more to thrive in the new era.

Set of interrelated or interacting activities which transforms inputs into outputs NOTE 1: Inputs to a process are generally outputs of other processes. NOTE 2: Processes in an organization are generally planned and carried out under controlled conditions to add value.
