Craig Fisher, QSK95 Manufacturing Leader at Cummins, says, "safety was the top priority for us before the pandemic, but how we practice it has significantly cha
Think of a train loaded with 40 foot containers as long as the distance between your home and work (about 15 miles). This is what it would take to load all the pollutants avoided, thanks to the state-of-the-art technology used in Cummins Tier 4 high horsepower engines. Cummins Tier 4 high horsepower engines have recently exceeded 10 million operating hours. These engines feature state-of-the-ar
Transportation, banking and capital markets are three very different industries with one thing in common: high susceptibility to future disruption, according to Accenture1. Transportation services are specifically unique, as the industry is currently experiencing high levels of disruption in addition to high susceptibility for future disruption. The rail industry, a critical component of
Greenhouses, hospitals, industrial manufacturers and commercial building owners are some of the many turning to cogeneration, also known as combined heat and power (CHP). They enjoy benefits ranging from improved financial performance to reduced environmental footprint. Cogeneration applications' high efficiency in converting the energy in the original fuel into useful energy is the foundation of
Technologies that require fast computing and low latency are the key drivers of edge computing, and this need for low latency necessitates edge data centers to be near the users they support. Edge data centers are the physical structures where edge computing takes place and are usually located within a few miles from where the data is generated. Edge data centers, whether located at the base of
Our perception of what is safe has rapidly changed over the last couple of months, and many of us will continue to exercise varying norms of social distancing in the near future.

Many of us experienced natural disasters over the years and perfected our disaster preparation plans. Yet, we have a new challenge this year; going through these disasters while also experiencing the on-going pandemic. The on-going pandemic has int
These power generators will primarily be installed in data centers to help our communities in China stay connected through the re-opening of the economy. In times like this where many supply chains are interrupted due to the on-going pandemic, supply chain agility becomes an invaluable asset for many businesses. A global and diverse manufacturing network is one of the key elements of building a
Sixteen out of 93 pages for Glencore, 12 out of 75 pages for Rio Tinto and 11 out of 105 pages for BHP. These are the number of pages each of the world's biggest miners allocated to sustainability in their most recent annual reports. It is just not the pages, as each of these miners have established commitments in reducing their environmental impact. Similarly, Cummins Inc. is driven to redu
Nearly 75% of all energy we produce is estimated to be dissipated as waste heat. This includes the heat generated by your car's engine, light bulbs at home and other devices that need energy to operate. Waste heat is also generated while producing electricity, the cornerstone of our modern lives. Fortunately, technologies such as cogeneration and trigeneration help us reduce this waste he
Over 50 tons. This is the amount of goods transported annually, per person in the U.S. This shouldn't be surprising given the device you are reading this article on is likely made from several different minerals and multiple sub-components. These get mined or manufactured at different locations then transported to various locations in-between, before getting shipped to you. The transporta
