The #Future Is Flowing — When #Chemistry Flows, Innovation Grows Switching from #batch to #continuous is more than evolution — it’s #process #intensification in action. #Flowchemistry delivers consistent results, faster scale-up, and cleaner production. At PILON ENGINEERING, we engineer that transformation.  Batch was good. Continuous is game-changing Recently, PILON successfully concluded #pilot-scale #production of 1 kg/day and is now advancing toward 250 kg/day continuous production #scaleup. Once this milestone is achieved, PILON will initiate the 30 MT/day commercial-scale, marking a major leap towards #sustainable and #scalable #chemical #manufacturing. 🌿⚙️ #FlowChemistry #ContinuousProcessing #ProcessIntensification #Innovation #Sustainability #PILON #EngineeringTheFuture

Spotlight: When order management goes wrong, everything slows down. For one agricultural machinery manufacturer, variant-heavy assembly meant transport orders were a constant headache: manual handling, sequencing errors, and costly rework piling up on the shop floor. With Inpixon’s smart factory solution, that changed. Transport orders were matched automatically, plausibility checks caught errors before they reached assembly, and every movement became transparent in real time. The result? Faster turnaround times, fewer manual errors, and a logistics operation that scales with demand. This isn’t theory—it’s a real-world success. And it shows how RTLS and smart order management can transform daily operations into a leaner, more reliable process. 👉 Read the full case study (link in comments) #SmartFactory #OrderManagement #Logistics #Inpixon #ManufacturingMonth

When we applied for the Massachusetts Manufacturing Accelerate Program (MMAP) grant through the Massachusetts Technology Collaborative, we wanted our submission to tell more than just the numbers. We wanted it to tell the story of what this project means for Rocheleau and for Massachusetts manufacturing. Our team put together this video as part of the application, highlighting how our new production line will expand capacity, create local jobs, and strengthen the region’s advanced manufacturing ecosystem through partnerships like the one we have with MassMEP. Watch our submission video below to learn more about the project and how it aligns with our mission to build precision solutions for the future of the plastics industry. 🎥 #Rocheleau #MassTechCollaborative #MassMEP #MadeInMassachusetts #AdvancedManufacturing #FearNoTask

The next generation of coatings goes beyond protection — they’re designed to react and adapt. At Kamsons, our smart coating technologies integrate advanced polymer science with functional materials to achieve self-healing, corrosion resistance, and water-repellent properties. Each formulation is engineered to perform intelligently — ensuring long-lasting durability, sustainability, and reliability across diverse applications. 🔬 We believe innovation begins where chemistry starts thinking for itself — and that’s exactly what drives our research and development at Kamsons. #Kamsons #SmartCoatings #InnovationInChemistry #SurfaceScience #AdvancedMaterials #CoatingTechnology #ChemicalEngineering #NextGenCoatings #SustainableInnovation #MaterialScience

When I joined ML GROUP | Packaging Company GROUP, my first goal was to redesign our approach to cost efficiency — not through cheaper materials, but through smarter engineering. Today, I can proudly say we’ve helped our partners reduce their total packaging spend by up to 25%, while actually improving performance. How? ✅ Optimization of format — we analyze your product dimensions to eliminate waste and increase production yield. ✅ Material efficiency — our die-cut solutions are customized to fit exactly, with no excess foil or laminate usage. ✅ Process automation — precision equipment reduces downtime, waste, and manual errors. Our clients in the food, dairy, and pharma sectors have seen measurable financial improvement while maintaining perfect product sealing. At ML GROUP, we don’t believe in cutting corners — we believe in cutting waste. #CostOptimization #PackagingEngineering #MLGROUP #SmartManufacturing #OperationalExcellence

ViRtex Nord Partners with Finnch Tech Oy and K & K Ab to Revolutionize Packaging Automation. ViRtex Nord has recently sealed a groundbreaking agreement with engineering firm Finnch Tech and the K & K engineering atelier. Together, they're introducing a cutting-edge solution to integrate a convenient carry handle directly into polyethylene packaging films. This state-of-the-art innovation has already garnered rave reviews from beverage producers, allowing them to streamline their production lines and cut costs. In fact, this integrated handle is a game-changer, marking one of the most significant steps toward full automation in the beverage industry's manufacturing process. Operators are now effectively becoming engineers who simply oversee the line, no longer wasting time on roll changes or manual adjustments. This breakthrough, driven by ViRtex Nord partnership with Finnch Tech and K&K, sets a new industry standard. #PackagingInnovation #Automation #ManufacturingExcellence #BeverageIndustry #VirtexNord #Engineering #TechTrends
