Plasma Cutting Processes Explained

Plasma cutting has been in use since the 1960s and is still the preferred method for automotive repair shops, fabrication shops, industrial construction sites and salvage operations. This is largely due to the high speeds and precision cuts these machines can achieve.

While it was rather time-consuming and expensive in the early days, advancements in technology and engineering techniques made it a more user-friendly, economical and productive method. In this article, we discuss different plasma cutting methods, how it works, some of the applications and pros and cons.

How To Use Drones in Manufacturing

It’s a little surprising that drones in manufacturing are not as widely used since the global drone market is expected to exceed $15 billion in 2022. Right now, drones in manufacturing account for less than 2% cent of the total drone deployment despite the countless benefits unmanned aerial vehicles (UAVs) present to several industries. In this post, we take a closer look at how drones can be used in manufacturing along with some of the regulations.

The Future Of Energy Storage Systems

The continued focus on renewable energy has led researchers to find new and improved long-term energy storage systems. While batteries made from lithium and other minerals have proven useful for energy farms, they are not sustainable, especially on a global scale.

Fortunately, with the continuous investment in research and development, there are potential solutions. These include commercial-scale ‘sand batteries’ from Finland and Switzerland’s 20 million kWh ‘water battery’, which is now operational after 14 years of development.

How Artificial Intelligence Is Changing The Construction Industry

Artificial Intelligence is expected to become the next technological frontier, according to most of the current studies and surveys across the world. Many of these investigations, and even experts, have gone so far as to claim that AI has not yet reached its maximum potential in the construction industry. They believe that by employing more Artificial Intelligence solutions, the construction sector may discover new ways to improve productivity. This would likely bring about an increase in resources dedicated to developing capabilities and AI playing a significant role in the construction process.

Nuclear Thermal Spaceflight May Be Closer Than You Think

The journey to Mars is a long one, but what if we can cut it by half or explore our galaxy further than ever? The only way to achieve that is nuclear thermal spaceflight which is much closer than many might realise. With advances in technology and more funding for aerospace R&D, we are getting closer to faster space travel.
