Technology Issues Facing Industries Today
Manufacturers today are grappling with a myriad of technological challenges that are impacting their operations and competitiveness.
- Digital Transformation, including such things as Data Management and Analytics, Cybersecurity and Internet of Things (IoT).
- Automation and Robotics, which require a highly skilled workforce to operate and maintain.
- Supply Chain Disruptions, which require real time visibility and predictability to avoid.
- Sustainability and the Environment – improving energy efficiency and reducing waste in all forms while meeting all regulatory requirements.
- Rapid Product Development Cycles to meet ever changing customer preferences and needs.
- Emerging Technologies such as AI (Artificial Intelligence)
- “Brain Drain” which is occurring at an alarming rate due to an aging workforce and difficulties finding skilled replacements.
Indeed, the modern industrial landscape is increasingly data-driven, with vast amounts of information generated from various sources, including sensors, manufacturing equipment, and customer interactions. Effectively managing and analyzing this data presents significant challenges that can impact operational efficiency, quality, and overall profitability.
Addressing these technological challenges requires a combination of strategic planning, investment in new technologies, and a focus on developing the necessary skills within the workforce.
The Consequences of Not Meeting These Challenges Head On
Higher Production Cost
Operational Disruptions
Reduced Competitiveness
Damage to Reputation
Loss of Market Share
Brain Drain
To overcome these challenges, manufacturers must invest in technology, develop a skilled workforce, and adopt a proactive approach to risk management. By addressing these issues, manufacturers can improve their efficiency, resilience, and long-term sustainability.
It’s Hard Going It Alone
- In-house engineering resources are often wasted manipulating and collecting data.
- Experimental testing and process monitoring are either unavailable, inconsistent or expensive.
- Most facilities are not leveraging the full capacity of their data due to inefficiencies in collection, cleaning, and data design, leaving them unable to pivot to new advanced analytics (AI) as algorithms become more available.
- Automation is complex and requires specialists outside of the skillset of most facilities. This gap continues to grow, as systems become more complex.
- Increasing “Technical Debt” – the gap between technology increasing and one’s ability to adopt it.
In house engineering resources do an admirable job of keeping the day-to-day operation running, dealing with production and product quality issues, making needed upgrades to the plant, bringing on new products, while also ensuring the plant is safe and compliant.
However, they either do not have the bandwidth or the requisite skill set and experience to do all of this and at the same time do what must be done to meet these technological issue head on and in a timely fashion to avoid the consequences. They will likely need outside help, the kind of help VESL can provide.
An Innovative Approach to These Challenges
VESL is a manufacturing engineering group founded by engineers, for engineers, with a focus on automating, optimizing and streamlining processes. We specialize in creating custom solutions to optimize both operations and R&D, helping companies overcome inefficiencies while simultaneously moving them forward in technology. Through the development of automation, predictive analytics, simulation tools and “digital twinning”, we empower our clients with the expertise and software they need to run their businesses more efficiently, maintaining their competitiveness.
By partnering with VESL, clients can leapfrog competitors in both technology and operational efficiency, gaining a clear advantage in today’s competitive landscape.
What Makes VESL Different?
Services
VESL provides virtual resources for: modeling, data analytics, and automation. We work 1 on 1 with you to identify opportunities and develop and maintain your custom program, tailoring it to your specific needs. This allows you to apply cutting edge modeling and analytics without needing a team of developers and simulations specialists, keeping your costs low.
Specializations
System Integration
Our team excels in integrating complex automation systems, including robotics, PLCs (Programmable Logic Controllers), SCADA (Supervisory Control and Data Acquisition), and DCS (Distributed Control Systems).
Process Optimization
With a keen focus on improving efficiency, reducing costs, and boosting productivity, we optimize existing processes to enhance both virtual and real-world outcomes.
Custom Automation Solutions
We develop bespoke automation systems, including tailored software and hardware, to meet each client’s unique needs.
Data Analytics & Reporting
Leveraging data analytics, we monitor and report on performance metrics. This data-driven approach ensures clients can make informed decisions.
Engineering & Design
Our extensive engineering expertise spans various sectors, including chemical, environmental, and manufacturing. We ensure every aspect of a process—whether hardware, software, or control systems—meets the client’s requirements.
Digital Twins: Modeling & Simulation
From CFD (Computational Fluid Dynamics) to virtual process simulation, we develop customized models to test failure modes, performance limits, and design efficiency, reducing prototyping costs and accelerating time to market. At VESL we provide new insights into your process to reduce waste. These models can virtually test equipment which is not accessible due to physical constraints or that may be too costly to experiment on. CFD and Multiphysics are in our wheelhouse.

At VESL we provide new insights to your process to reduce waste. These can test equipment which is not accessible due to physical constraints. CFD and Multiphysics is in our wheelhouse, don’t need to go that far, then why not generate automated engineering analysis.

Data Development
As the volume of data available increases, many facilities spend more resources manually integrating and analyzing data in a batch process. More data is available than ever, yet most facilities do not have the resources to convert that data into actionable information. Resulting in process/product engineering resources being wasted manually collecting, combining, and analyzing this data. There is simply a better way to work. Our clients work directly with us to develop a workload analysis. Then the engineer’s workload is developed into a set of applications. These automated workflows are designed to convert raw data into meaningful information. Allowing engineering to spend time innovating the newest process configuration, not pushing data around in spreadsheets.
Vesl can help guide our clients from iterative, manual data collection systems into an integrated platform. This integrated platform serves as the backbone to support implementation of predictive analytics and deep learning.
