Good morning! Today we have an interesting story about new software that lets companies instantaneously translate and upload important documents, such as standard operating protocols and procedures, into a single program that’s accessible to any designated employee on the plant floor.

You can also read about a partnership between Haitian and Hennecke focusing on paint-free production of parts and a new hot-runner system from Hasco. There is also an article from sister publication Smart Industry about how artificial intelligence in manufacturing is moving into the application phase.

Finally, the deadline has been extended on our midyear check-in survey. You still have time to let us hear from you.
