As I highlighted in my previous article, edge computing – or to use a more accurate description, multi-access edge computing - is expected to transform the processing of data from millions of devices globally. 

This emerging technology trend enables faster response time and real-time compute capabilities of data in close proximity to where it is generated, ie, at the edge of the network, and it is already on the radar of high-performance organizations.
 
According to Gartner, by the end of 2023 over half of large enterprises will deploy at least six edge computing use cases for support of IoT or immersive interaction experiences. That compares to less than 1% in 2019. Similarly, a survey from Forrester suggests that 57 percent of mobility decision-makers have edge computing on their roadmap for the next 12 months.

3D printing continues to penetrate the medical device sector in new — and sometimes surprising — ways. 

Cross laminated timber is increasing used in building large commercial structures. LOCTITE adhesives are used to improve strength and stability.

Troubleshooting a failure in an adhesive bonded joint can be a daunting task due to the wide variety of processing and performance variables that can affect joint performance.

Have you ever selected  a pliable, chemical resistant, low cost plastic that seemed to meet all of your medical device needs only to discover it won’t adhere to anything when scaling up to large performance and qualification builds?

2020 has undoubtedly been a challenging year with an unforeseen global pandemic creating a multitude of obstacles to overcome in all societies, cultures and countries.

What is the right material for my medical device?

When it comes to packaging, sustainability and smart solutions are more important than ever for consumers. This shift is happening fast and its consequences for the industry are immediate.

Going from packaging shame to packaging pride
