We review topics that include how to reduce scrap, Industry 4.0, general metrology methodologies, and the best tools for maximum throughput. The Applied Innovations Podcast is your source for manufacturing insights, best practices and technology. In this episode we discuss how comparison measurement has become a premier form of metrology. My guests for this episode are metrology engineers Andrew Kerr and Ryan Rogers. We look at a revolutionary machine that maximizes the potential of this form of metrology, The Equator 300 (and 500). If you have a high-volume production shop floor with complex and expensive gauges this may be the episode to help you dramatically improve your production. If you’re not a manufacturer this is an excellent episode to understand how an established philosophy of measurement is helping build the world around us. Subscribe to the podcast here.
