Eli Beer is a pioneer, social entrepreneur, President and Founder of United Hatzalah of Israel. In thirty years, the organization has grown to more than 6,500 volunteers who unite together to provide immediate, life-saving care to anyone in need - regardless of race or religion. This community EMS force network treats over 730,000 incidents per year, in Israel, as they wait for ambulances and medical attention. Eli’s vision is to bring this life-saving model across the world. In 2015, Beer expanded internationally with the establishment of branches in South America and other countries, including “United Rescue” in Jersey City, USA, where the response time was reduced to just two minutes and thirty-five seconds.

The waveguides, modulators, microscopic lasers, photodetectors, and other optical components that form photonic integrated circuits (PICs) all need to be perfectly aligned to minimize signal loss on the chip. PICs simply cannot improve yields, lower costs, or efficiently scale without ever-faster alignment tools able to perform with nanometer precision. In this episode, TECH B2B ’s Dan McCarthy chats with Physik Instrumente ’s Scott Jordan about the advanced alignment tools and AI algorithms that are helping to streamline the fabrication and packaging of PICs today.

When systems integrators hit roadblocks where they must design something brand new that’s never been done before, that’s what we’re good at. There are a lot of great systems integrators out there that build industrial automation systems that can do exactly what you need, bringing together industrial robots, controllers, vision systems, control cabinets, PLCs, and so on, explains Doug Harriman, Vice President of Engineering at Simplexity Product Development. These integrators know the space, know the suppliers, and do a great job – but Simplexity isn’t trying to play there, instead, the company aims to find a niche in the market where there’s a new problem, where solutions don’t quite exist, and this is where we think we can add a lot of value, he explains. In this episode of Manufacturing Matters, Harriman joined TECH B2B Marketing’s Jimmy Carroll to discuss the company’s philosophy, recent projects, labor shortage issues, and more. Support the show…

Systems integrators can become victims of their own success. In these cases, remote support becomes a much more viable and cost-efficient option. Some systems integrators can become victims of their own success. When integrators deploy many systems and the crew that built the cells don't have the bandwidth to travel and see all these customers and can’t staff up massive service departments – it can become an issue. Companies looking for a more cost-effective means of keeping customers happy while also building new cells now have options, according to Fredrik Rydén, CEO of Olis Robotics. In this episode of Manufacturing Matters, Rydén joined TECH B2B Marketing’s Jimmy Carroll to discuss the company’s unique service within the industrial automation space, which is a remote monitoring system that runs next to a robot system, not only monitoring it 24/7 and catching, recording, and logging faults, but also enabling remote control and teleoperation of the system.

By some measures, the production of optics and photonics core components is $400 billion a year market now, and the technology’s downstream value far exceeds that figure — particularly when calculating in new developments like photonic integrated circuits (PICs). But will photonics ever challenge the value of electronics? Or is it more of an analog to electronics’ early days? Or is photonics simply one of the electronics industry’s more interesting corners? Optica’s senior industry advisor, Dr. Tom Hausken, joins TECH B2B Marketing’s Dan McCarthy in this episode of Manufacturing Matters to discuss this and other big questions about photonic trends and technology.

If you're selling a limited number of products over the course of Q1-Q3, and then suddenly you have this incredible spike in demand with peak season, that variability doesn't lend itself to sort of traditional forms of automation. The world is changing, day to day, week to week, and what you are selling today may not be what you are selling tomorrow. In addition, consumer e-commerce demands can shift drastically – whether it’s the pandemic, the labor shortage, or seasonal spikes – different types of automation technologies are required to automate modern day warehouses, said Al Dekin, Chief Revenue Officer and Co-Founder of Locus Robotics. In this episode of Manufacturing Matters, Dekin and his colleague Vered Tomlak joined TECH B2B Marketing’s Jimmy Carroll to discuss an extensive range of automation topics, including advancements in AMRs and AI, the humanoid vs. AMR debate, and how companies can handle the automation demand during peak season. In addition, the discussion covers the approach Locus takes with understanding customer needs, some forthcoming technology announcements, the company’s recent milestone of achieving 4 billion successful robot picks, and more.

Whether it’s in retail, robotics, or quality inspection, our customers today are finding ways to leverage AI to merge multiple different components at once instead of having a single line for one component. While the attention of the masses may gravitate toward robots and AI, machine vision remains an indispensable and increasingly vital technology for businesses of all types around the world. In this episode of Manufacturing Matters, Jason Covar and Jeremy Bergh of The Imaging Source joined TECH B2B Marketing’s Winn Hardin and Jimmy Carroll to discuss a range of different machine vision topics, including the advancement of edge computing and edge AI, the difference between computer vision and machine vision, and the somewhat nebulous realm of embedded vision.

Photonic integrated circuits (PICs) technology is sparking transformations in applications as diverse as LiDAR systems, agri-food, and hyperscale data centers. But manufacturing PICs at scale demands a level of complexity beyond the scope of any single company. It will take an ecosystem. That is the principle behind PhotonDelta’s alliance of materials foundries, PIC designers, chip packaging firms, and other technology partners working together to fulfill the promise of PICs technology. PhotonDelta’s Eelko Brinkoff and Jorn Smeets join Dan McCarthy on this episode of Manufacturing Matters to explore the revolutionary potential and practical challenges of bringing PICs to market.
