Manufacturing
When in China, do as the Chinese do
OEMs must learn how to best position themselves to succeed in new markets like China and exploit the proper value-adds for the region and culture through brand reevaluation and global platform design.
Platform engineering is one way OEMs may be able to facilitate the development of new technology while still reducing cost.

Designs dig deeper with mining equipment
Equipment design in the mining industry continues to be focused on enhancing safety and efficiency as well as enhancing autonomous technology.
The Hitachi EH3500ACII operates via a trolley system in which voltage lines provide electrical power to the vehicle.
Lighting
Reverse the paradigm of lighting
RSL Fiber Systems' fiber optic lighting system remotely generates light and delivers it non-electrically, helping increase safety in hazardous working conditions.
Peter Gladis of RSL Fiber Systems says the darker it is the better RSL's fiber optic lighting system will perform. The optical fiber actually 'smooths out' the light, so there is less glare and improved visibility.
