The Rise of Manufacturing-as-a-Service

MaaS organizations are suppliers for several separate institutions that will proportionately share the costs for equipment, software, support, and repairs. It helps companies to save money for their expansion.

As a result of technological advancements such as a fast Internet, inexpensive cloud services, and improved connectivity based on omnipresent sensors, actuators, and data protocols, the transition to Manufacturing as a Service (Maas) has become feasible. A radical restructuring of the global supply chain has been made possible by these advances.
For Original Equipment Manufacturers (OEMs) and B2B businesses, the digital transformation of the corporate sector has been introduced in a new paradigm. These businesses are using new sensor technology, data mining, the Internet of Things (IoT), and cloud infrastructure collectively to surrender their full control of the assets they need to manufacture their goods. Global Market Database is an effective market research tool that gives its users market wise quantitative inputs. To maximize their result, they have transferred their money and effort to outsourcing these activities to a manufacturing-as-a-service (MaaS) organization. In essence, MaaS organizations are suppliers for several different companies that share facilities, software, service, and maintenance expenses on an even scale.

Many more organizations are now able to easily build up and run because MaaS reduces the barrier of entry into a market. The idea that these smaller start-up organizations do not have to buy and then spend to repair their own heavy machinery greatly tends to reduce their upfront costs. As a consequence, distributors are more likely to buy these organizations, so they can charge a cheaper price and yet retain the same margins. When it comes to manufacturing orders, this introduction actually creates a pay as you go, model, meaning organizations can produce their goods at the rate of market demand. Since they no longer have to hold a huge volume of stock, the new rate is advantageous. GMD is a market research tool for market intelligence data.


For a manufacturer to take advantage of MaaS, the first step is to coordinate its operations across regions, using IT to ensure continuity and efficiency. European car producers, such as BMW, are experts in the supply of personalized orders since the manufacturing process is observable in real-time. Most car makers now offer online or mobile-enabled configurators to enable purchasers to customize available choices, but MaaS can take another major leap forward in this phase, enabling consumers to collaborate with the designers of a manufacturer online to test out products and ensuring that they can deliver the variations they want. You can use free market research tools at GMD for further assessment of the business planning.
Implementing MaaS provides organizations with an array of versatility. It helps them to assess how much stock they want to produce and when without the worry of having machinery sit idle on the floor and depreciate without receiving anything back for the business. MaaS has transformed how industries work and how products are internationally manufactured and sold. The approach improves productivity and effectiveness and offers access for all interested parties to a broader range of tools and technology. Global Market Database is the only market research tool which is dynamic in nature. The market numbers change in line with the change in market dynamics.

Manufacturing in the United States has a lot to do, regardless of whether you use a MaaS network, or deal directly with an EMS. Lean manufacturing and automation strategies make the actual cost of ownership even more competitive and easier to 'Made in America' than many overseas alternatives.

Hamilton Caster & Mfg. Co., a 117-year-old industry leader in heavy-duty industrial casters, proudly announces the enhancement of its legacy Super Endurance Caster (SEC) series, now rebranded as the Spinfinity® Super Endurance Caster (ZFSEC) series. In addition, Hamilton is introducing the all-new Spinfinity® Super Endurance Dual Caster (ZFSEC2) series, both of which feature a new heavy-duty 'V-Style' seal designed to elevate performance in the most demanding environments.
The Spinfinity® Super Endurance Caster (ZFSEC) series replaces Hamilton’s legacy SEC series, setting a new benchmark for kingpinless caster design in extra heavy-duty applications. Central to this upgrade is the heavy-duty 'V-Style' seal, which offers protection against dirt, debris, and moisture. This advanced sealing technology ensures consistent performance and extends the life of the caster, making it the ideal choice for environments where reliability is critical.
"With the introduction of the V-Style seal, the ZFSEC series is engineered to withstand the harshest conditions while providing zero-fix, 100% maintenance-free operation," said Mark Lippert, president of Hamilton Caster. "This enhancement allows our customers to minimize maintenance costs and downtime, further solidifying Hamilton’s reputation for durability and dependability."
The ZFSEC series retains the robust construction that Hamilton is known for, including a swivel top plate and inner raceway made from forged steel, providing superior strength for shock conditions. Sealed precision ball bearings are also now standard in all wheels, contributing to the maintenance-free performance of the series. Notably, the zerk fittings have been eliminated, as the new design makes them unnecessary.
Complementing the ZFSEC series, Hamilton introduces the all-new Spinfinity® Super Endurance Dual Wheel Caster (ZFSEC2) series. This dual wheel series is engineered for extra heavy-duty applications where stability, durability, and maintenance-free operation are paramount. Like its counterpart, the ZFSEC2 series leverages the new 'V-Style' seal, ensuring that each caster is fully protected against contaminants that could compromise performance.
Combined with sealed precision ball wheel bearings, this caster series ensures zero-fix, 100% maintenance-free performance. The dual-wheel configuration enhances stability and allows for a lower overall height, offering a perfect blend of strength and maneuverability.
Casters in both series are finished in a durable HAA polyester platinum powder coat and are available in a wide variety of wheel types, allowing for customization based on application needs.

New Horizon Releases Innovative Functionality for Optimizing Inbound Logistics Scheduling at DCs

ACTON, Massachusetts – September 3, 2024 – New Horizon Soft, LLC (https://www.newhorizon.ai), a global leader in AI-powered supply chain planning software, announced today the release of a new version of its Buyers Workbench procurement planning software. The latest version includes the ability to optimally schedule inbound deliveries, taking into account distribution center (DC) receiving capacity, thus minimizing receiving bottlenecks and lowering inbound logistics costs. A research paper describing the innovative methodology and its deployment at an iconic $10B+ U.S. quick-service restaurant chain was recently published in the peer-reviewed academic journal, the International Journal of Operations Research and Information Systems.

Supply chain organizations typically plan purchase orders without regard to DC receiving capacity. This leads to bottlenecks on some days and underutilized staff on others. New Horizon’s methodology, called Master Purchasing Receipt Scheduling (MPRS), uses a novel algorithm to automatically and optimally schedule deliveries. The algorithm plans deliveries at the time of purchase order creation and results in a steady volume of deliveries and lower planning and logistics costs. While first deployed at a restaurant chain, the methodology is applicable to any manufacturer, wholesaler, retailer, or foodservice company operating high-velocity DCs.
