Manufacturing automation is on the rise, offering quality control workers a career advantage. Stefan Friedrich of New Scale Robotics notes that as manufacturers embrace automation, it becomes more user-friendly, aiding new workers in using robots and software effectively.

My passion for conferences and trade shows, ideal for expanding knowledge and networks, is well-known. The Quality Show South is a prime opportunity for practitioners and continuous improvement professionals to connect, access cutting-edge software and technology, and enhance their careers.

Blaming technology for lower customer satisfaction due to reduced personal interaction, while emphasizing the importance of face-to-face meetings for happiness and increased effectiveness, highlights the need for strategies like limiting electronics during meals and following established standards.

Teledyne e2v, a Teledyne Technologies company, announces Topaz5D™, a full-HD CMOS image sensor designed to combine 2D vision with the generation of 3D depth maps.

Compact, cost-effective and with exceptional image quality in low ambient light, the IDS industrial camera offers the 2 MP sensor IMX662 in both color and monochrome versions.

In what has been called “a broad management shakeup,” a number of key executives will be exiting Boeing.

For precise bore measurements, handheld gages are limited as human feel impacts the readings, especially when checking bores in-machine. A more accurate solution, such as the Indicating Plug Gage, eliminates operator influence, ensuring stable readings and efficient recording of taper, ovality, size, and other crucial parameters.

Plant engineers and quality departments often struggle with zero point drift during air leak testing, where the initial zero reading shifts over time, leading to frequent adjustments of the leak test instrument. This article addresses the causes of zero drift, commonly attributed to changes in shop floor temperature, and provides strategies to minimize or eliminate this issue for improved efficiency in quality control processes.

Orders of manufacturing technology, measured by the U.S. Manufacturing Technology Orders Report published by AMT, totaled $338 million in January 2024, a 31% decline from December and a 3.7% decline from January 2023.

Air gauges are non-contact devices that utilize air pressure for measurement. They play a crucial role in ensuring precision and quality control in the manufacturing industry, from automotive to aerospace industries. They are particularly valuable for measuring delicate or easily deformable materials.
