Manufacturing.net Though it’s not nearly as photogenic, the next technology likely to reinvent and vastly improve manufacturing is blockchain. Besides being far more difficult to explain compared to our robotic friends, blockchain technology also suffers a bit from bad publicity. Blockchain has drawn a lot of attention recently for its use in cryptocurrencies like bitcoin, which have a history of being popular with drug dealers and others up to no good.

Vertical Magazine We all wish we could foresee misfortune on the road ahead of us, allowing us the opportunity to avoid it. In many aspects of life, this ability remains firmly in the world of science fiction, but for those who work in helicopter maintenance, it’s fast becoming a reality. This is world of predictive maintenance, in which usage and condition monitoring data is used to predict potential issues before they happen. The rapid evolution of predictive maintenance is not only enabling measurable improvements in its effectiveness, but is democratizing its use among the global fleet, with even some smaller helicopters now able to benefit from it.
