Comprehensive device integrates advanced communication protocols and edge computing for enhanced productivity and security, ensuring safe data export from machines to factory networks.
In modern manufacturing, it's crucial to validate parts immediately after manufacturing or assembly and detect defects before further processing. Automation in manufacturing has outpaced inspection processes, creating a challenge and opportunity for the metrology industry.
Statistical Process Control (SPC) in manufacturing is evolving to not just detect defects, but also to predict and prevent issues. Modern factories use more sensors and collect more data, allowing SPC to analyze real-time patterns and forecast potential issues.
Traditional manufacturing often results in waste of materials and energy due to imprecise measurements. 3D measurement technology enables precise measurement, early issue detection, and process adjustments, reducing waste and costs.
At Technical University of Applied Sciences Würzburg-Schweinfurt (THWS), Professor Christian Zirkelbach is teaching robotics and machine vision at Faculty of Applied Natural Sciences and Humanities.
As an accreditation assessor, I can say that many common assessment deficiencies could have been prevented if the calibration certificate had been thoroughly reviewed.
This article is an adaptation of my popular presentation, “Beyond the Sticker & the Cert (Ensuring Better Measurements & Reducing Risk).” Product manufacturers, testing labs, and calibration labs often overlook the importance of thoroughly reviewing calibration certificates, leading to potential measurement inaccuracies and increased risks.
Beamex announced the relocation of its US operations, including its state-of-the-art calibration laboratory and warehouse, to a new, expanded facility in Atlanta, GA.
