Model Airplanes

UK Manufacturing is enjoying its largest expansion in 10 years. The manufacturers’ organisation EEF sees output and export growth continuing through 2018 thanks to a strong global economy and a weak pound following the Brexit referendum. Manufacturing has been a forerunner in the digital revolution and, to ride this wave of opportunity, organisations must continue to innovate. The challenge that many face is applying new technologies to their business and exploiting the rapidly increasing amounts of data. As part of its Industrial Strategy, the government published 4 Grand Challenges in November 2017, focused on the global trends which will transform our future. First on the list is “growing the Artificial Intelligence and data driven economy”. We consider how AI, along with the digital twin model and edge computing will play a more dominant role in manufacturing this year, and expand into the sectors where they are not yet exploited. 

Digital twins

The digital twin model will revolutionise how high value assets are designed, developed and maintained. This is the process whereby something that exists within the physical world is mapped out in the virtual world – an exact digital replica, which provides a number of benefits when building high value capital assets. Even at the very start of a project, engineers can use digital twins to run models to map out any potential obstacles before any physical work has begun. The technology also facilitates real-time analytics which can markedly improve operational maintenance and, combined with AI, predictive maintenance.

Take the airline industry; engineers can test virtual models of planes to predict when parts will start to

Marvin Lee Freeman, 95, passed away peacefully at home on January 18, 2018. Marvin was the youngest of six children, born in Brooklyn to parents Sadie and Wolf Friedman on February 20, 1922. He married his sweet-sixteen date and love of his life, Miriam Rose, in 1943, shortly before he went off to serve overseas; as a soldier, he earned a Bronze Star Medal for active combat in support of the Fighting 69th Division’s defensive hold at Siegfried Line in February 1945. He later graduated from Purdue University with a degree in engineering, and went on to spend his career designing submarines at Electric Boat. He spent much of his life between New London, CT and West Palm Beach, FL, with his last decade in Bloomfield, near family. Marvin was a man of many hobbies and interests, who truly enjoyed his retirement to its fullest. He was passionate about current events, and passed his time working on his computer, traveling, listening to big band music, keeping up with the latest technologies, building model airplanes, enjoying home-cooked meals, and fixing things around the house. After he lost his eyesight to macular degeneration, he bravely spent countless hours figuring out how to best adapt to his situation and listening to endless books on tape. He was a regular at the gym every morning, where he walked laps on the track up until the last month of his life. Marvin was the doting husband for 69 years of the late Miriam Freeman; the

COPENHAGEN – Aloysius “Al” H. R. Eisel, 84, of Watson Rd., died Thursday night, January 18, 2018 at his home.

He was born in Chicago, Illinois on July 29, 1933, a son of the late Henry and Antoinette (Zimmerman) Eisel. He graduated from Copenhagen Central School in 1951. On October 30, 1954 he married Marion Drews at the St. Mary’s Church in Copenhagen. Al served in the United States Marine Corps as an Air Traffic Controller from September 1951 to September 1954, amidst the Korean War. During this time he was stationed in Japan and Cherry Point, North Carolina. After his service, he worked as a Millwright for St. Regis Mill in Deferiet, retiring in 1993.
