Imagine factories where robots handle the heavy lifting and engineers adjust machines using virtual models—all while reducing waste and pollution. This is the future of industrial technology. In this article we’ll explore how Industry 4.0 and beyond will shape the way we work, create, and innovate. Smart Factories: The Changing Face of the Industry Sector …
Currently Viewing: Industrial Technology
Imagine walking into a factory where robots handle materials and assembly lines, sensors monitor equipment, and artificial intelligence optimizes production while human workers oversee operations. As the industrial sector transitions into Industry 4.0, this scene has rapidly become a reality. Manufacturing robots now offer greater capabilities with reduced downtime, and they’re making workspaces safer and…
Steam, electricity, and automated machines have underpinned fundamental shifts in how people live and work, and each has been the driver behind its own industrial revolution. But while their lasting impact has been substantial, none of these revolutions have been “smart.” That changed with Industry 4.0. As the “Fourth Industrial Revolution,” Industry 4.0 has introduced…
The 1920s saw tremendous leaps forward in industrial operations. Spearheaded by Henry Ford, factories moved to assembly line production, facilitating the mass production of cars and all manner of consumer goods. Mechanization became widespread and electric power supplanted steam power, both markedly increasing productivity. Factory workers themselves would have to wait for workplace progress, however,…
If you’re seeking an online bachelor’s degree in industrial technology, you’ll find options such as Bachelor of Science in Industrial Technology and Bachelor of Applied Arts and Sciences in Industrial Technology. Unless you understand the differences between these similarly named online programs, how can you decide which one might be best for you? The University…
Technology is a primary driver of commerce and government today, keeping operations running smoothly for countless organizations worldwide. The University of Texas Permian Basin offers technology-focused online degree and certificate programs that can help you develop greater career expertise and professional potential. Created and taught by some of the top minds in their respective fields,…
The manufacturing sector has long relied on technology for the efficient production of goods. One obvious example is cars, which are largely built with the aid of robotic technology, though human beings are often still a necessary component of the manufacturing process. Even Elon Musk, creator of the fully electric Tesla, had to admit that…
Industrial technology is easy enough to define: a field of study devoted to improving the productivity, profitability, and safety of industrial processes through the application of engineering and manufacturing technology. Types of industrial technology include chemical, mechanical, and electrical processes that aid in production. The role of an industrial technologist, however, is far more difficult…
“The most dangerous leadership myth is that leaders are born—that there is a genetic factor to leadership. That’s nonsense; in fact, the opposite is true. Leaders are made rather than born.” — Warren Bennis What is a healthcare leader? This term can refer to many different types of roles: administrators, directors, managers, etc. What each…
Industrial technology is used daily in business to streamline and accelerate production and increase productivity, profitability, and safety. The ongoing need to find better, faster, and cleaner ways of manufacturing and using products drives constant technical innovation, and the results can benefit both businesses and their customers. Examples Of Industrial Technology Innovation “Innovation” refers both to the creation of new technologies and to their adaptation for use in a variety of industries, with the end goal of making people’s lives easier and, as you’ll see, potentially saving their lives. Let’s take a look at some technological innovations that have…
