Manufacturing journalist, TR Cutler, recently authored an article, titled, "The End of AGCs in Favor of VGVs," in AutomationMedia Magazine. According to Cutler, the lack of innovation and limited payloads are driving automotive purchasing professions to drop Automated Guided Carts (AGCs) in favor of Vision-Guided Vehicles (VGVs).

According to manufacturing journalist Thomas R. Cutler, "The need to develop more women engineers and scientists remains a pivotal national concern -especially as ideas and entrepreneurship continue to drive the nation's and world's economic growth. To compete and create this new talent and technology means embracing the next generation of innovators, especially women, who remain underrepresented in the field despite the promise they bring to the industry. Manufacturing faces a serious skills gap. Part of this gap is the underrepresentation of women in the industry. Women make up about 47 percent of the labor force, but only 27 percent of the manufacturing workforce."

Manufacturing journalist, TR Cutler looked at the role of Hytrol conveyors and integration partner, Advanced Equipment Company (AEC) and how they helped Morinaga America's Mebane, NC candy manufacturing facility. The recent article was published in AutomationMedia.com and according to Cutler, Morinaga America needed to design its new conveying and packaging lines. AEC's challenge was to develop a system that would convey the product from the bagging machines into the check-weighing system which would verify the weight of the bags. From there, the bags of candy were conveyed to an operator station where operators manually unloaded the bags from an upper belt conveyor into display boxes in cartons below on an accumulating conveyor.

While manufacturers and distributors face mounting cybersecurity risks, some are not doing enough to address the issue. Only one-third of manufacturers and distributors conduct penetration testing on an annual basis -- leaving their intellectual property and corporate information vulnerable to attacks.
