The push in manufacturing to reduce costs, improve productivity, and foster innovation is a continuous process. Advanced technologies, when correctly applied, can help a manufacturer reach these goals. The engineers at Intellimech work closely with our customers to gain a deeper understanding of their processes and unique challenges in order to provide a comprehensive solution that can leverage these new technologies to meet and exceed your expectations. In this release from Purdue University, a collaborative effort between the university and General Electric (GE) is announced. GE will plan to invest $10 million in a five-year partnership to develop new materials and manufacturing practices. For operations like GE’s, realizing a mere 1% improvement in manufacturing productivity equates to a savings of $500 million.
