To better compete globally, the United States should develop a comprehensive industrial strategy to align resources for manufacturing and maximize the national security and economic impacts of the Manufacturing USA program, a proven model that connects the key actors.
Advantive, a provider of mission-critical software for specialty manufacturing and distribution businesses, announced its acquisition of Insequence, a leading provider of automotive sequencing and manufacturing execution system (MES) software headquartered in Smyrna, Tennessee.
The Supreme Court ruled in February that the Federal Government had illegally collected tariffs from importers in the United States using the International Emergency Economic Powers Act (IEEPA).
Teledyne DALSA announced the expansion of its AxCIS™ family of high-speed, high-resolution, fully integrated line scan imaging modules, now available in resolutions up to 1,800 dpi and lengths of up to 1,500 mm.
UTEX Scientific, a leading developer of advanced nondestructive testing (NDT) software, instrumentation, and automated inspection systems, announced the acquisition of PA-CAT Inc., an innovative phased array corrosion analysis technology company, from Holloway NDT & Engineering Inc.
In manufacturing, maintaining product quality is essential. Quality departments should be involved throughout the entire process, from engineering to shipping, to ensure high standards. Consistent quality can be challenging without adequate protocols.
Quality giants like Joseph M. Juran, W. Edwards Deming and Armand V. Feigenbaum ushered in the era of total quality management (TQM) movement about seven decades ago.
The British Institute of Non-Destructive Testing (BINDT) has announced an important update under PCN24, introducing a new Dual Certification option for Level 1 and Level 2 candidates within the magnetic particle testing (MT), penetrant testing (PT) and visual testing (VT) methods.
You’ve built rigorous systems for tracing defects to their source. But one upstream cause rarely makes the diagram and it’s been generating quality escapes across the industry for years.
A homage to the work of David B. Kirk. His 1952 paper on pneumatic gaging is a foundational reference for dimensional inspection and measurement quality.
For more than seventy years, David B. Kirk’s illustrated lecture, Introduction to Principles of Pneumatic Gaging, existed in an unusual place in the history of manufacturing—quietly influential, widely practiced, yet almost entirely absent from the modern technical record.
