In 2023, SAE International’s Battery Standards Testing Committee, consisting of over 20 companies in EV battery manufacturing and testing, was tasked with recommending practices for evaluating liquid leak-tightness in battery packs.

This article discusses automation in quality assurance, with a focus on physical properties testing and metrology, and highlights automated crush strength testing for catalyst pellets in the energy sector.

Recently, I ordered gym clothes online using an AI's size recommendation based on my past purchases, which suggested a "medium." Trusting the technology, I placed the order, but the clothes didn’t fit. While this was a minor inconvenience for me, it sparked a thought: What if such inaccuracies occurred in manufacturing?

It’s 8 p.m., story time before bed, and you sigh as your child picks “Goodnight Moon” again. At first glance, it seems like a simple tale of saying goodnight to objects in the “great green room.” However, a closer look reveals it as a complex world of materials testing.

Coy Limon from 3D Infotech highlights how innovations like metrology automation, machine learning, and augmented reality (AR) are transforming quality control in manufacturing, enhancing efficiency and accuracy while integrating with Industry 4.0.

Digital ecosystem provides systematic controls for work instructions, change management and data collection.

As demand for electric vehicles rises, the automotive industry must prioritize battery component quality. This article explores the critical role of how materials used in automotive battery manufacturing undergo rigorous mechanical testing to verify their quality and to maintain industry standards.

ZF Lifetec employs both physical and virtual testing to ensure reliability and performance of seat belts, air bags and steering wheels.

Calibration lab quotes are often based on ideal conditions, but the true costs of calibration testing can remain hidden from metrics. When these costs appear, managers may blame the lab. By using risk control tools and investing in quality equipment, labs can reduce these hidden expenses.

How do sounds like birds chirping or your favorite song make you feel? They represent analog information. Analog design captures this data through electronic circuits, linking the analog world to digital technology. This article explores the analog circuit design cycle, opportunities, and the future of circuit design.
