One month into summer 2019, and the mercury is rising. A heat wave will impact half of the U.S. over the coming week with temperatures in the 3-digits in some parts of the country. Heat waves of this magnitude are not just an inconvenience, they can be dangerous, even life-threatening, if proper precautions aren’t taken. There were 108 heat-related fatalities in 2018 according to NOAA. Of all n

HERE'S SEVEN WAYS CUMMINS PUTS HIGH-TECHNOLOGY TO WORK FOR YOU: SUPER COMPUTERS The Clessie 2.0 supercomputer is a critical asset to the company’s engineering function, accelerating innovation, improving productivity and reducing product development time as well as costs.

Today’s society has become so dependent on electricity. Most of us can’t imagine functioning without it. Who would have thought that a down internet connection could be hazardous to your health and state of mind? Imagine a holiday weekend with a house full of guests and one of the worst but typical thunderstorms hits the city. Immediately people begin using phones as flashlight
Those are the words of Cummins Chairman and CEO Tom Linebarger, who recently joined several top Cummins executives to share how the company is positioned to lead in current and future technologies, including its core business, electrification, alternative fuels and power solutions, as well as in digital capabilities, data and analytics. “As a global power leader for the commercial and indus
It’s almost that time of the year again. Hurricane season begins on June 1st and lasts until November 30th. Colorado State scientists recently issued their initial hurricane season prediction for the Atlantic Basin, forecasting 11 named storms, including four hurricanes and two major hurricanes. While the prediction for the 2017 hurricane season is slightly below average due to El Niño, remembe
In some ways, the cave at the Cummins Technical Center (CTC) in Columbus, Indiana (USA) is aptly named. Tucked away in the basement and dark much of the time, its inhabitants seem to prefer large, dark glasses, even when the lights are dim. But some pretty high tech stuff is happening in the CAVE and at similar locations across Cummins where engineers are using virtual reality to get a on
Thankfully, Spring is finally here! Our landscape will gradually change from brown to green and will fill with pops of color from various flowers blooming once again. We’ll open our windows to let in fresh air and go out on walks to overload our senses with all that comes with Spring. However, as the snow melts and temperatures climb, we have to remember that Spring also brings severe
The event featured a group of ambitious entrepreneurs, each ready to make their pitch to a panel of business leaders with a lot on the line. But this wasn’t a television show. It was the Cummins Environmental Gateway project. Cummins leaders in the U.K. invited suppliers in to pitch new ideas that could help the company reach its goals for reducing water and energy use and producing less waste.
So what do Americans like you do with $3,000 or so burning a hole in their pocket? You might think they go on a shopping spree or book a vacation, but Americans are actually quite practical with that extra money. Most use the money to pay off debt or they put that money towards a savings account, such as retirement savings. Here's another practical way to use that extra money that can benefit y
Sure, Cummins powers trucks. But you might be surprised at what else we either power or provide dependable backup power to ensure smooth operations. Here’s just a few: Statue of Liberty For more than 130 years the Statue of Liberty has been welcoming visitors to New York City from Liberty Island in New York Harbor. Today, Cummins technology provides reliable ancillary power for this American
The gray, rectangular machine emitting a bright blue light doesn’t look particularly impressive as it quietly goes about its work at the Cummins Technical Center (CTC) in Columbus, Indiana. But some believe the technology it uses could one day change manufacturing as we know it. 3D printers can take extremely detailed instructions to make precise objects a layer at a time, with relatively li
Cummins and Ceres Power Holdings PLC, a U.K.-based company, will collaborate on a nearly $5 million project to develop fuel cell power for data centers after receiving an award from the U.S. Department of Energy (DOE). The project partnership also includes the University of Connecticut and Pacific Northwest National Laboratory, one of the DOE’s national laboratories. It will be funded by contri
