From Theodolites to Laser Trackers: A 40-Year Metrology Revolution. Witness how a technical field has evolved, enabling single-micron accuracy at your fingertips and powering smart factories for unprecedented efficiency.

In a strategic move that underscores its commitment to innovation and leadership in the artificial intelligence (AI) sector, Aionic Digital announced the appointment of Yaron Benjamin, CEO, and Matt Zeiger, COO, to its executive leadership team.

Labor shortages continue to pressure manufacturers, with some dedicating up to 20% of their workforce to manual inspection. Embracing Quality 4.0 with automated in-line inspections and AI process analytics could provide significant value.

The ASQ Inspection Division has selected Larsen Manufacturing PPAP Lead Inspector, Jair Velazquez Abundez, as the 2024 Chuck Carter International Inspector of the Year.

System integration strategies vary by industry and project scale. Success relies on thorough planning and execution, especially in machine vision technology. Here are key integration elements for success with vision technologies.

The new campus will focus on battery research, manufacturing, and recycling, with the West Midlands Gigafactory as its anchor tenant.

Automating testing and inspection requires careful consideration of tools, including robot type, end-of-arm tooling, and ancillary systems. While cobots are popular for quality tasks, their full collaborative capabilities may not be utilized in some applications, leading to higher costs without maximizing benefits.

Automation systems encompass various technologies beyond just robots, such as machine vision. Integrating machine vision with robots enhances automation capabilities. Advancements like 3D imaging, AI software, and industrial computing are driving new applications and efficiencies across industries.

Automation in manufacturing, particularly in quality control, is crucial for boosting productivity and reducing errors amid a shortage of skilled operators. Vision system technology offers a powerful solution, automating measurement and inspection processes to streamline operations and enhance accuracy.

Quality organizations are at the forefront of adopting AI in electronics manufacturing, addressing well-defined challenges that impact business efficiency. While traditional quality control methods like functional tests and visual inspection are common, AI's integration is revolutionizing these processes with advancements in machine vision and enhanced analytical capabilities.
