Solving the quality problem workers couldnât see - Engineering.com (opens the original)
Read excerpt
This long-haul truck part was nearly impossible to see once assembled, but the consequences of missing a defect would be impossible to ignore. At Daimlerâs Mount Holly Truck Plant, one of the more difficult quality inspections involved a component that disappeared from view once it was assembled. The joint connects the steering column to the truck frame, where the steering wheel is attached. A bolt has to pass through two holes in the correct orientation and be properly torqued. Once installed

Manufacturers still struggling to move AI from data to the factory floor - Engineering.com (opens the original)
Read excerpt
For manufacturers, the research identifies two related challenges. Manufacturers may know where their data is, but many are still struggling to govern it, unify it and put it to work in AI applications, according to new research from data and AI platform company Cloudera. Manufacturing findings from its Data Readiness Index 2026 on Sept. 8, show gaps in data access, governance and infrastructure are creating barriers to scaling AI across manufacturing organizations. The findings are based on Clo
Researchers pair digital twin, cobot for remote AM finishing - Engineering.com (opens the original)
Read excerpt
Researchers tested whether a digital twin and cobot could let an operator remotely program and supervise small-batch metal AM finishing without being in the cell. A research team from the University of North Carolina at Charlotte and the University of Oulu in Finland has developed a cyber-physical system that allows an operator to program, supervise and intermittently teleoperate a robot to finish metal additive-manufactured parts without being physically present at the manufacturing cell. The s
