In recent years, the intersection of robotics and 3D printing has begun to transform the field of spinal surgery. When integrated, these two technologies offer unprecedented opportunities for surgical precision, personalization and improved patient outcomes. Dr. Larry Davidson, an expert in spinal surgery, explores how custom 3D-printed spinal implants are being designed specifically for use in robotic-assisted procedures, bridging the gap between patient-specific anatomy and advanced surgical execution. By enabling the creation of implants tailored to the individual, 3D printing is redefining the role of prosthetics in spinal care and pushing the boundaries of what robotic surgery can achieve. This level of customization improves implant fit, promotes better fusion and…
What is the Purpose of Predictive Monitoring?
Predictive monitoring helps businesses grow by reducing machine downtime. Every minute of downtime costs a company a significant amount of money. Historically, oil and gas companies needed help maintaining visibility into equipment in remote offshore places. Using sensors, predictive maintenance enables companies to monitor the condition of their assets. Predictive Maintenance Predictive maintenance is a process of identifying and predicting machine failures. It can help reduce downtime and improve worker safety. However, implementing predictive maintenance requires a large amount of data to be collected and analyzed. It can also be expensive. The industrial Internet of Things (IIoT), machine learning, and big data analytics are vital for implementing predictive maintenance. These…
