The New York Manufacturing Extension Partnership (NY MEP) is a network of organizations that provide growth and innovation services to small- and medium-sized manufacturers to help them create and retain jobs, increase profits, and save time and money, as well as assist them in solving issues including productivity, research, and development. NY MEP is part of the MEP National Network and is dedicated to the growth of U.S. manufacturing.
Clean energy is not a new concept, but the possibility of applying this concept to the U.S. manufacturing industry in broad manner has the capacity not only to rejuvenate the industry, but to increase competitiveness globally. From finding new ways to repurpose wasted materials to choosing more conservative energy sources when possible, there are many ways manufacturers can use clean energy technologies to gain advantage by using the most current technologies and being aware of ways that productivity can be streamlined. The correct approach can result in substantial savings with respect to time, energy, and money. The potential to implement clean energy technologies is something that crosses all spheres of manufacturing — and there are ways for every facet of...
Integrated photonics uses light for applications that have traditionally been reserved for electronics. Relative to electronics, this technology increases dependability and productivity while simultaneously reducing the size, weight, and energy required. With a multiverse of possible usages, integrated photonics are on the front lines of the information transfer industry. Currently used in numerous capacities including telecommunications, data communications, and medical applications, integrated photonics are poised to advance information transfer to a degree similar to what semiconductor microchips did during the computer revolution 40 years ago. Substantial economic growth tied to the advancement of integrated photonics technologies and procedures is expected both domestically and globally within the next five years. The New York Manufacturing Extension Partnership (NY MEP) and the American Institute...
