Working in the high-pressure area of industrial machining, safety measures are not just something to follow—they are the lifeline. Besides the noise of the powerful machines and the constant moving of sharp tools and heavy materials, even half a second of an eye not focused or a safety step not taken can cause serious injuries, or even death. That is why the safety issue should not only be the concern of the regulation or the moral and operational commitment but also a deep-rooted part of the culture of each unit. Machining OperationsMachining operations are high-speed activities that involve cutting, drilling,…
In the world of industrial automation, programmable logic controllers (PLCs) have long been the backbone of control systems. These devices are built to be reliable, durable, and capable of operating in demanding environments. But over the years, the PLC market has become increasingly closed, proprietary, and expensive. For many companies—particularly small to medium manufacturers, OEMs, and integrators—traditional PLCs now represent not just a technical choice, but a financial and strategic constraint. This is where the concept of open PLCs is gaining traction. It’s not about replacing PLCs altogether, but about reimagining what a PLC can be in an era where…
The pharmaceutical industry, though fundamentally chemical in nature, is profoundly dependent on mechanical engineering. Every stage of drug manufacturing, from formulation to packaging, relies on precision-engineered tools and machines. Among these, tablet compression stands as one of the most critical processes, demanding high precision, cleanliness, and productivity. In the early 2000s, the Indian pharmaceutical industry faced persistent challenges in tableting operations, primarily sticking of powder on punch tips, tool corrosion, and frequent downtime. The conventional solution of OHNS (Oil Hardened Non-Shrinking Steel) punches coated with hard chrome plating had several limitations: poor wear resistance, chrome’s toxic nature, and environmental non-compliance.…
By Shubham ThakareSustainability has changed from a checkbox compliance to a strategic axis for resilience, margin, and brand value. Circular design changes the question that teams are asking during product development. When asking how cheap something can be manufactured the question changes to how value will be preserved through multiple use lifecycles, affecting architecture, materials, business models, and operations.The article translates circular theory into useful methodologies and measurable outcomes, for product leaders to engage with now. The strategic case for circular designThe strategic case for circular design Circular design reduces exposure to commodity volatility and regulatory risk, while unlocking new…
