On-machine research is a field of study that focuses on developing and implementing new technologies and tools directly on machines and equipment. This research area aims to improve the efficiency, effectiveness, and safety of machines by integrating sensors, actuators, and other advanced technologies directly onto the machine itself. By conducting research in this area, engineers and researchers can optimize machine performance, monitor machine health in real-time, and enable machines to make autonomous decisions. On-machine research has applications in a wide range of industries, including manufacturing, agriculture, transportation, and healthcare.
