Simulation: from concept to virtual twin
How can manufacturers harness the power of simulation to get real-world design right first time? The concept of using simulation to inform factory design has been around for years, even predating computers. The earliest examples of simulation were physical models that allowed engineers to test processes and designs on a small scale before scaling them up. Whilst the same underlying principles still apply, nowadays, simulation takes place in the virtual environment. This provides a far greater capacity to build complex processes for testing the effect of variables on outcomes; AI-based technologies have been instrumental in achieving this level of flexibility and sophistication.

Prepare for GS1 Sunrise 2027 and the transition from 1D to 2D barcodes with OMRON
The shift from 1D to 2D barcodes is the most significant change to product identification in decades. GS1’s Sunrise 2027 initiative sets the expectation that systems across retail and supply chains are capable of scanning and processing 2D symbols, such as Data Matrix, QR, and GS1 Digital Link, to enable richer data, stronger traceability, and enhanced consumer transparency.We support manufacturers and machine builders throughout this transition by providing an integrated barcode reading and verification ecosystem designed to support accuracy, compliance, and long-term operational reliability.

How to build resilience into every manufacturing decision
Thriving through turbulence: How to build resilience into every manufacturing decisionIn the world today, adaptability is no longer only a competitive advantage, it’s a necessity. Manufacturers across all sectors face continuous disruption: changing regulations, unpredictable demand, shifting supply chains, a growing workforce shortage and skills gap. Resilience isn’t something that can be tacked on after the fact. It must be designed into the system, embedded in strategy, and reinforced through technology and culture.Here are five key principles for designing resilience into manufacturing operations:1. Put customers and partners firstResilient manufacturers share a common trait: they prioritize long-term relationships. In our experience, strong partnerships, with both customers and technology providers, create a foundation of trust that becomes invaluable during disruption. This foundation will also become stronger and more robust over time. Whether it’s a global component shortage or a sudden regulatory shift, companies that operate with openness, loyalty, and collaboration respond faster and more effectively. These human connections are just as important to resilience as any machine or system.
