Statistical Process Control (SPC) in manufacturing is evolving. Once used mainly to detect defects, it now helps predict and prevent issues before they occur. Modern factories use more sensors and collect more data than ever before. This allows SPC to analyze patterns and trends in real-time. Instead of just flagging problems, SPC can now forecast… ادامه خواندن Statistical Process Control: From Reactive to Predictive

✕ One of the significant challenges in modern manufacturing is validating parts as soon as they are manufactured or assembled and identifying defects before further processing. Manufacturing resources often outnumber inspection resources, and the automation of manufacturing processes has outpaced the automation of inspection processes. This disparity creates both a challenge and an opportunity for… ادامه خواندن Integrated Metrology: The Next Frontier in Manufacturing

In traditional manufacturing, companies often make parts, measure them, and discard those that don’t meet standards. This wastes materials and energy. 3D measurement changes this process. This technology measures parts and components precisely, allowing companies to spot and fix problems early in production. It enables manufacturers to compare each part to its digital design in… ادامه خواندن 3D Measurement: A Practical Tool for Sustainable Manufacturing

Roads are the backbone of our society and economy, taking people and goods across distances long and short. They are a staple of the built environment, taking up nearly 2.8 million lane-miles (or 4.6 million lane-kilometers) of the United States’ surface area. These same roads have a considerable life-cycle environmental impact, having been associated with more than… ادامه خواندن Streamlined Framework Empowers Pavement Life-Cycle Decision-Making

Body (NewTek: Pennsauken, NJ) — NewTek custom-designs linear position sensors for companies that can no longer source replacement LVDTs from original suppliers. As LVDT manufacturers discontinue specific lines of position sensors or no longer offer small volumes of custom LVDTs, companies find it hard or even impossible to get replacements. NewTek offers a solution by… ادامه خواندن NewTek Offers Custom Designs of Legacy and Discontinued LVDT Sensors

Top ✕ This article is an adaptation of my popular presentation, “Beyond the Sticker & the Cert (Ensuring Better Measurements & Reducing Risk).” Product manufacturers, testing labs, and calibration labs, in attempts to reduce risk and ensure better measurements, will have their measuring and test equipment (M&TE) calibrated so they can have their “sticker and… ادامه خواندن How to Read & Interpret ISO/IEC 17025 Calibration Certificates

Not so long ago, I experienced a stretch of time when I awoke seemingly every morning at the same time, 7:47. No alarm, no real reason. Just awoke at 7:47. Strange. A little creepy, but I didn’t think too much of it. Circadian rhythm and the like. However, I also began to take note that… ادامه خواندن Bias in Measurement Uncertainty…And Horror Movies

(MIT: Cambridge, MA) — A tiny battery designed by MIT engineers could enable the deployment of cell-sized, autonomous robots for drug delivery within the human body, as well as other applications such as locating leaks in gas pipelines. The new battery, which is 0.1 mm long and 0.002 mm thick—roughly the thickness of a human… ادامه خواندن MIT Engineers Design Tiny Batteries for Powering Cell-Sized Robots
