Automakers are embracing automated bin-picking to overcome manufacturing challenges, leveraging cutting-edge vision-guided robotics to boost efficiency in their processes.

The aerospace industry faces a challenging task in balancing cost reduction with stringent quality standards. The rise of artificial intelligence (AI) offers transformative solutions in manufacturing and metrology, enabling manufacturers to optimize production processes while ensuring compliance with safety regulations and maintaining high-quality outputs.

As the new year begins, AI, 3D scanning, and 3D printing are transforming manufacturing by enhancing efficiencies. As teams kick off Q1 projects, it's essential to consider how these trends will influence growth and open new market opportunities.

TerraFixing is at the forefront of addressing climate change with its innovative and affordable Direct Air Carbon Capture (DAC) technology. This unique solution efficiently captures CO2 from the atmosphere, even in colder climates, helping to achieve global net-zero targets by reducing current emissions and addressing historical carbon footprints.

Dr. Ben Tomic is our 2025 Quality Professional of the Year. With nineteen competencies on his CV and 50 skills on LinkedIn, he is a valuable asset as a certified quality engineer (CQE) or AS9100 lead auditor. He also highlights the importance of emotional intelligence in his work.

Building HI, or Human Intelligence, through People-Centric Leadership empowers us to engage more effectively in innovation, collaboration, and problem-solving. When this approach becomes instinctive, it enhances our ability to tackle challenges and share feedback meaningfully.

The assembly line, introduced by Henry Ford in 1913, connects product quality to component integrity. Many manufacturers now use computed tomography (CT) for pre-assembly inspections.

In the fast-paced manufacturing industry, agility is vital for adapting to design changes. A centralized method for tracking modifications ensures team alignment, reduces miscommunication, and enhances productivity, fostering collaboration to keep up with innovation.

Hardness testing, which began in the 1700s with Mohs' scratch test for minerals, evolved significantly by the early 1900s to focus on measuring the penetration of indenters under force. This shift led to the widespread adoption of three key methods—Brinell, Rockwell, and Vickers—standardized by ASTM International between 1924 and 1952.
