In the rapidly changing and expanding landscape of imaging hardware components and software solutions, the job of systems integration is as important as ever.
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.
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.
On March 9, NPR reported Boeing was unable to find any paperwork about the door plug and attributed a top Boeing official saying, “It was likely that such records never existed.” Roughly one day later, the Wall Street Journal reported the Justice Department had opened a criminal investigation.
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.
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.
In many production settings, machine operators are tasked with monitoring processes by taking samples and making adjustments as needed to maintain productivity. However, there's a question worth exploring: What if ignoring these data-driven adjustments and allowing the process to continue unchanged is a better strategy?
"For years, I've been told, 'The safest part of your journey has come to an end.' Initially, I took this to mean just getting home from the airport, but now I question, 'Was I ever truly safe to begin with?'"
If you're looking to learn more about management, auditing, engineering, Six Sigma, supply chains, or calibration, there's someone I'd like you to meet.
Dr. Milton Krivokuca, our 2024 Quality Professional of the Year, shifted from manufacturing to education, guiding students to faster degrees and career advancement.
