Smart machines get more efficient

March 18, 2015
Learn how the efficiency revolution is being aided by smart machine builders.

“Smart technology” and “intelligence” are two terms that are frequently heard in plants throughout the world. But what do these words really mean, and how will they impact your other operations?

Nowadays, machines and their controls are being endowed with more of the analytical capabilities of their human counterparts, so they can make better operating decisions and save power and other expenses more quickly and easily. These skills may be rooted in combinations of more powerful microprocessors, better software, more sophisticated robotics, more pervasive networks or cloud-based data processing, but, whatever their source, they're enabling new levels of efficiency for machine builders and their end users.
