Sustainability is the new approach to growth that considers economic, environmental, and social factors. The United Nations issued 17 sustainable development goals (SDGs) to achieve sustainability objectives.

Quality sat down with Jim Spichiger, program manager, Amazon Custom Service, and immediate past chair of the ASQ Inspection Division, to discuss his upcoming Quality Show South presentation.

Theia's lenses help capture clear images of car crash testing. The MY23F lens is rugged and can survive impact at 50mph, while providing undistorted images.

Microscope objectives focus light and form images. There are two types: finite and infinite conjugate. Designers consider magnification, numerical aperture (NA), and cost. NA is important but not the only factor in performance.

Deep learning, a subset of machine learning, aims to mimic the learning process of the human brain. Learn how it improves through repetition and requires larger data sets and longer processing times to achieve reliable accuracy and sophistication.

RDMA is an alternative to UDP for high-bandwidth, multi-camera applications, providing an efficient data transfer mechanism that bypasses the CPU and operating system. By storing image data directly onto the host PC's memory, RDMA is ideal for managing large volumes of data in modern high-bandwidth Ethernet camera applications.

Materials testing ensures quality by subjecting materials and products to controlled conditions to evaluate properties and behavior under stress. Learn how mechanical, physical, and chemical properties are evaluated to determine suitability for different applications.

Quality is important in manufacturing as it can protect reputation and help in case of unexpected events. Quality can even help in clearing up the ambiguity of cheating versus gaining a competitive advantage.
