The most important question isn't what's launching next. It's whether your manufacturing operation is built to support it. Find out at Booth 35 at Space Symposium. 📍 The Broadmoor, Colorado Springs, CO 📅 April 13th-16th 🤝 Want to meet up?

Almost every manufacturing leader we speak with is navigating the same tension: move fast… without losing configuration control and quality. So they do what any team under pressure does. They patch the gaps with heroics. Spreadsheets. Slack approvals. Tribal knowledge. A few months later? An ECO slips. A traveler doesn’t match the build. A nonconformance gets buried in email. And when a customer asks, “Which lots, ops, and waivers touched this unit?” traceability turns into archaeology. The cost-cutters ask: “How do we go faster with fewer people?” The winners ask: “How do we remove the noise so the people on the floor can make better calls?” One optimizes for speed on paper. The other optimizes for control at scale. Let’s talk control at scale with @SpaceFoundation . See you at the 2026 Space Symposium. #Manufacturing #AdvancedManufacturing #DigitalManufacturing #Aerospace #DefenseManufacturing #SpaceIndustry

We keep hearing the same story from space manufacturers: when hardware programs start to scale, it’s usually not the design that gives way first. It’s everything behind it: the manufacturing systems, quality processes, and traceability needed to keep mission-critical work moving. That’s why we’re joining @SpaceFoundation to talk about what it takes to build the operational backbone behind successful space programs. 👉 Book a meeting: luma.com/t4lojsfe

Most “AI in manufacturing” still stops at insight. And honestly, that’s where more teams are getting stuck than most people realize. What comes next is agentic systems: software that can plan, coordinate, and execute work across systems. In @SMEMediaNews (Advanced Manufacturing), our CEO @karantalati breaks down what that shift looks like, where these systems fit in production workflows, and how manufacturers can approach adoption with the right foundation of data, process, and governance. 👉 Read the article: advancedmanufacturing.org/ma…

Manufacturing software can’t be rigid. Teams need adaptable systems that match real workflows and help people execute efficiently. ▶️ Want to see what “adaptable” looks like in practice?

A client picked manufacturing software that looked “complete.” Stakeholders: “We’re set.” Three months later: Builds changing daily Engineering bandwidth thin Operators back in spreadsheets Data captured after the fact (if at all) The software was built on the wrong assumptions. They switched to ION, built for constant change, limited headcount, and end-to-end traceability. If you’re evaluating tools, ask: “What happens when the process changes tomorrow and no one has time to babysit the system?” Polished platforms describe features. ION supports execution.

First Resonance retweeted
We’re excited to share that @LockheedMartin has joined us on our mission to mass-produce portable nuclear reactors. This strategic investment further oversubscribes Radiant’s current financing round and adds decades of defense expertise to our team of investors and partners. Lockheed Martin's investment, combined with the almost half a billion dollars we raised last year, reflects our relentless focus on the mission and deepening confidence from both financial and strategic partners in our commercialization strategy. Today's news comes one week after our PDSA was approved by @ENERGY, six weeks since we became the first nuclear startup to generate electric power, seven weeks since we announced our Series D, two months since our first pressure vessel arrived at our headquarters in El Segundo, and a little over three months since we announced we'll build our first factory in Oak Ridge, Tennessee. All this comes ahead of startup of our first reactor this summer at @NRICnuclear's DOME facility at @INL.
