Features
-
IN Food’s latest issue examines resilience across food manufacturing operations. The May/June edition tracks packaging, traceability, assurance, heat, and labour pressures.
-
Solar power can cut warehouse energy costs and grid reliance. This partner feature outlines the main cost, roof suitability, maintenance, and permission checks before installation.
-
Energy security now reaches deep into Britain’s industrial control rooms. The King’s Speech set out new measures on clean power, nuclear regulation, electricity pricing, and cyber resilience, but the industrial test lies in connections, controllability, cost exposure, and operational technology security.
-
Cyber risk is intensifying across production, utilities, and logistics systems. The latest UK breach survey shows above-average exposure across utilities and production businesses, while board ownership, supplier scrutiny, and incident response remain uneven across the industrial economy.
-
Interpack 2026 offers an insightful read on today’s factory priorities. IN Food’s new preview tracks the pressures converging across packaging, coding, inspection, automation, and materials.
-
Cyber Essentials now makes cloud MFA a formal pass requirement. The April 2026 update also puts critical patching, cloud scoping, remote devices, and supplier assurance under closer assessment, leaving less room for cyber hygiene to be treated as annual paperwork.
-
AI filled Hannover, but only some applications cut through clearly. The strongest industrial examples at Hannover Messe 2026 were not broad promises of transformation, but tools aimed at engineering time, robot training, commissioning, production data, quality, logistics, and the stubborn realities of factory deployment.
-
Industrial News launches 2026 with a magazine about operational control. The issue ranges from cyber risk and Vietnam’s industrial opportunity to predictive maintenance, asset monitoring, food safety, power costs, and automation for future grids.
-
IN Defence launches as defence manufacturing pressure moves firmly upstream. The first issue tracks the industrial arguments behind current security tempo, from drones and batteries to cyber resilience.
-
Engineering has shifted, but women continue to face narrow gates. Representation in engineering and manufacturing has improved over the past decade, yet frontline technical roles remain stubbornly male. As International Women’s Day approaches, the sector faces a practical question: how to turn gradual progress into a genuinely broader industrial workforce.
