The world of manufacturing has seen a significant shift in recent years. Many brands now outsource the production of their products to other companies, leading to a loss of uniqueness and authenticity. However, amidst this trend, there is one brand that stands out from the rest – Mogami’s story. Marshall Technologies recently interviewed Phil Tennison, the Brand Manager for Mogami, at their NAMM booth.

Based in Nagano, Japan, Mogami has a distinctive factor that sets it apart: it single-handedly manufactures every foot of origami in the world. This means that each piece of origami is a limited supply, making it a true collector’s item.

What makes Mogami even more remarkable is their commitment to quality. They are known for their Mogami cables, which have become the gold standard in the studio and live performance industries. Musicians, both renowned and aspiring, rely on their Volami assemblies, built with Mogami bulk cables, to deliver top-notch sound. It’s no wonder that Mogami has garnered such a loyal following over the years.

One of the key reasons for Mogami’s success is their lifetime warranty. Unlike other brands that shy away from taking responsibility, Mogami embraces it fully. If your cable gets damaged, even if your dog decides to make a meal out of it, Mogami will replace it without hesitation. This no-excuses warranty is a testament to their confidence in the durability and consistency of their products. Whether you own a thirty-year-old Defark cable or a brand-new model, rest assured that they will perform identically.

For those intrigued by Mogami’s fascinating story and exceptional products, there’s good news. The company has a presence at the NAMM Show, where visitors can explore all the information they desire. Simply visit mogamicable.com to delve deeper into the world of Mogami and discover why their cables and origami are truly in a league of their own.

And now, let’s welcome our guest to shed more light on Mogami’s story. Joining us is Phil Tennison, the Brand Manager for Mogami. With his wealth of knowledge and experience, he will provide valuable insights into the brand’s philosophy, innovations, and what sets Mogami apart from the competition. So stay tuned for an enlightening conversation that will leave you in awe of the Mogami legacy.

Packaging robots can beat labor long term on cost, PMMI argues

Packaging robots can beat labor long term on cost, PMMI argues

PMMI's Tom Egan wrote in Processing Magazine that adding packaging automation and robotics can now be justified as more cost-effective over the long term than the high cost of labor in food, beverage and CPG plants. Separately, Packaging World describes AI-enabled AMRs from ABB and Agilox that automate material movement between packaging stations. The remaining gap is adoption among smaller manufacturers.

  • 01Two reference points for infrastructure-light material movement: ABB's Flexley Mover P603 carries 1,500 kg with sub-centimeter positioning and no floor markers, and Agilox's OFL lifts 800 kg pallets on peer-to-peer fleet software with no central traffic controller, per Packaging World.
  • 02The open ground is small and mid-sized manufacturers: MTC's Mike Wilson counts tens of thousands of UK SMEs with no robotic automation at all and expects cobots to take most of that growth.
  • 03A robotics business case should include procurement, not only line labor: a June 2026 China Journal of Accounting Research study found heavy robot adopters spread buying across more suppliers, gaining resilience but losing inventory efficiency and adding transaction costs.

Xtellio brings telematics to jobsite tools and heaters

Xtellio brings telematics to jobsite tools and heaters

Xtellio launched a two-tier telematics platform in March 2026: 32 battery-powered Xense sensors for small tools and wired Pro-Xentral devices for excavators, light towers and heaters. The company claims a 10-year battery life. Data is delivered through open APIs, which Xtellio frames as customer ownership of the data, aimed at rental and construction fleets where small assets have gone largely untracked.

  • 01Xtellio’s stated 10-year battery life for its Bluetooth Xense sensors is the key spec to test in the field; if it holds up, tagging hundreds of tools can look like a one-time install rather than a recurring battery-maintenance program.
  • 02For rental houses and contractors running mixed fleets, the sharper question is no longer which machines have telematics but whether the heaters, light towers and hand tools do, and whether that data lands in the same system.
  • 03Open APIs and “data liberation” are part of Xtellio’s pitch, and the coverage frames that as a prompt for RFP questions: what the APIs expose, where data can be sent, and whether customers can take historical data if they switch providers.

Senate bill would double smart water grants to $50 million a year

Senate bill would double smart water grants to $50 million a year

S. 2388, the Water Infrastructure Modernization Act of 2025, would double an EPA water tech pilot to $50 million a year through 2028. Grants would cover design, construction, training and operations for leak detection, advanced metering and AI analytics, WaterWorld reported. Planning and maintenance stay on the utility's tab.

  • 01Under S. 2388 as WaterWorld describes it, feasibility studies are not grant-eligible, so a utility would have to pay to build the case for a smart water project before applying for help building the project itself.
  • 02The bill's eligible list puts advanced digital design and construction management tools in the same bucket as meters and sensors, which would give a utility's capital delivery team a claim on the same grant as its field operations group.
  • 03The existing pilot program's authorization runs through 2026, per WaterWorld; the bill would extend it to 2028, and its last reported status was 'introduced' as of Aug. 12, 2025.
