In the manufacturing world, the buzzword “Industry 4.0” is on seemingly everyone’s lips for a reason. Not only do manufacturers have to keep up with rapidly evolving technology, but also  with the changes in consumer trends that go along with it in order to survive, much less triumph, in an increasingly competitive and high-tech marketplace.

Implementing a document control system is a good way to improve your processes, no matter what industry you are in. Having everything in one place helps you organize and handle your processes, job descriptions and other important material.

Some things are best when they go unnoticed.

A robust document control management process lies at the heart of a quality management system (QMS); almost every aspect of auditing and compliance verification is determined through the scrutiny of documented evidence. As the saying goes: “If it’s not documented, it didn’t happen.”

The moral to the story is that the best way to overcome obstacles and/or achieve success is to seek out those who have overcome the same barriers and succeeded. In other words, the key is asking the right questions of the right people.

One of the questions our applications team is most commonly asked is “Why aren’t my systems producing the exact same results?”

Many new industries are employing 3D scanning not only to create 3D models of parts or products for reverse engineering but also to explore the composition and rapid production of ready-to-use parts via 3D printing.

This first-in-class cloud-based quality management system is designed for precision manufacturers who are seeking a platform to transform the way that they define, measure, analyze, improve and control their manufacturing processes.

According to a recent article, the factory of the future is “the product of fast-changing, disruptive technologies hitting manufacturing like a cyclone.”
