I scour the web every day to be able to share information from experts that can make your manufacturing run smoother and even make our own manufacturing line better. Today, I’ve pulled together the most popular industrial manufacturing blogs for you to peruse. As a manufacturer ourselves, these are the blogs that we know help us— and they can help you too. ## [The Shopfloor Blog](http://Shopfloor.org) ![Shop Floor | Manufacturing Blog](https://www.centrafoods.com/hs-fs/hub/260019/file-2385453505-png/images/Blog-Images/manufacturing-blogs/shop-floor.png?width=700&name=shop-floor.png "Shop Floor | Manufacturing Blog") This blog is self described as a manufacturing blog reporting on manufacturing policy and politics. It’s the official blog released by the National Association of Manufacturers, providing up-to-the-minute insight on policy issues such as energy, health care, trade, legal reform and regulation. Information found on this blog will help you connect and stay updated on key policy issues affecting the industry.

Cerasis is a logistics and freight company, but the industry information that they provide is spot on.

I became so overwhelmed with the mass of information that I was tempted to just avoid these emails (and I’ll admit, I deleted quite a few without reading).   ![unroll.me](https://www.centrafoods.com/hs-fs/hub/260019/file-2381151458-png/images/Blog-Images/manufacturing-blogs/unroll.me.png?width=700&name=unroll.me.png "unroll.me") About 6 months ago, I found [unroll.me](https://unroll.me/). It’s a free service that rolls up all of your daily subscription emails into one email that you can easily review. You can even unsubscribe from any of them right from the site. It takes maybe 5-10 minutes to set up and organize your emails.  No more email stress for Hannah! Check it out. It will make your inbox happy.   Come back later this week and read our favorite food and beverage manufacturing blogs— if your production team wants more specific information for your industry, these will be just what you’re looking for!   ***Do you have a blog that you subscribe to and love?
