Additive manufacturing is a viable alternative to conventional manufacturing methods, according to AMFG, a developer of software for 3D printing workflows. It allows for rapid production of prototypes for much lower cost and the correction of product flaws early on in the design process. The technique is being used across the government for a wide range […]
The annual installation of industrial robots in factories worldwide more than tripled between 2010 and 2019, reaching 381,000. The technology can improve older processes and be improved by new capabilities, including artificial intelligence software and modern sensing systems, according to the International Federation of Robotics. In some manufacturing sectors, the wider adoption of robotics and automation tools […]
Customer experience has become a core metric for companies that need to compete with each other for people’s attention. This is especially true for companies providing products and services to the government, which frowns upon wasted tax dollars and anything less than the best-in-class.

He expects the accelerated pace of digital transformation to continue driving advancements in 5G, artificial intelligence, customer data platforms, cloud technology, cybersecurity, artificial intelligence and “headless tech.” For […]
Advancements in sensor technology are driven by innovation in its manufacturing processes and its many moving parts, including high-speed electronic circuits and signal processing technologies. But just as sensors research benefits from other fields, it also gives back by enabling many segments of the government contracting sector. BehrTech, a wireless connectivity technology company, expects large sensor networks to […]
