[vc_row][vc_column][vc_column_text] The Risks of Sole Reliance on LLMs and AI in Technology Discovery: Why Human Expertise is Still Essential [/vc_column_text][vc_empty_space height="22px"][vc_column_text] LLMs and AI tools are inadequate as primary technology discovery tools. A human analyst to validate technology search results, conduct crucial subject matter expert interviews, and evaluate unique ideas from experienced, creative employees and stakeholders through open innovation challenges will prove to be the best approach to a fully developed innovation management strategy. [/vc_column_text][vc_empty_space][/vc_column][/vc_row][vc_row][vc_column][vc_column_text]In today’s world of rapid technological advancements, businesses are constantly racing to identify and adopt breakthrough solutions that can give them a competitive edge. AI-driven tools like large language models (LLMs) have emerged as powerful engines for uncovering information, scouring vast data sets in seconds, and generating insights that would otherwise take weeks to gather. However, as efficient as these tools are, they can create a false sense of security in the New Product Development arena. Successful technology discovery demands...

[/vc_column_text][vc_empty_space height="10px"][vc_column_text]New product research is at the core of all manufacturing companies today, but what most don’t realize is that, regardless of industry, they are sitting on up to 50% of their intellectual property assets with no plans for their use.  This often results when a company pursues technologies specific to one product, and that technology is not a fit, causing it to be shelved with no further plans for its use.  In other words, they are missing out on any opportunity for alternative revenue streams for the company.  Many companies will intentionally sit on their IP assets in order to safeguard themselves from others who may try to pursue similar capabilities, keeping them at bay with the potential for a prior-art lawsuit, but most of these underutilized assets are a result of a...

3D printing impact

[vc_row][vc_column][vc_column_text] The Future of Additive Manufacturing in Consumer Goods, Energy, and New Materials [/vc_column_text][vc_empty_space height="22px"][vc_column_text]In the ever-evolving world of technology, 3D printing is emerging as a game-changer across multiple sectors. From consumer packaged goods (CPG) and life sciences to oil/gas/energy, defense/aerospace, and chemical/materials, the ability to produce complex, customized products quickly and efficiently is transforming industries. As businesses increasingly adopt 3D printing technologies, they are realizing major improvements in sustainability, cost-effectiveness, and accelerated innovation cycles. In the next five years – whether in personalized nutrition in the food and beverage industry, on-demand production in non-food CPG, or efficient energy solutions in oil and gas – the potential applications for 3D printing technologies are nearly limitless. Additionally, the life sciences and defense sectors continue to benefit from rapid prototyping, custom parts production, and advanced medical solutions. This blog will explore how 3D printing is driving innovation and reshaping the future of these industries.[/vc_column_text][vc_empty_space][/vc_column][/vc_row][vc_row][vc_column][vc_empty_space height="22px"][vc_column_text] Innovations...
