Carestream’s Non-Destructive Testing (NDT) group announced the launch of the INDUSTREX Fieldview Tablet, a rugged industrial tablet designed to simplify digital radiographic (DR) imaging in the field.

Manufacturing leaders prioritize quality, as customers expect consistency, safety, and performance. While companies have long relied on lean initiatives and Six Sigma programs, automation has emerged as a crucial tool for enhancing these efforts. In the last two decades in automation, I've seen it evolve from a cost-saving measure to a means of achieving consistency and precision throughout production, focusing on supporting quality at every stage rather than just integrating robots.

Onto Innovation, together with its Tucson-based subsidiary 4D Technology, announced that 4D Technology has been officially approved as a FANUC collaborative robot (cobot) device supplier.

New orders of metalworking machinery, measured by the U.S. Manufacturing Technology Orders Report published by AMT – The Association For Manufacturing Technology, totaled $387.3 million in July 2025.

While computed tomography (CT) has garnered attention for its volumetric imaging capabilities, 2D DR remains a faster and more cost-effective option for many production environments. As component complexity and production volumes grow, DR systems with automated image processing provide an effective and efficient solution for quality assurance workflows.

Michelle Bangert talks with Marcel Minutolo, professor of strategic management at Robert Morris University. He's also taught and conducted research in Chile, Tajikistan, Taiwan, China, Israel, Slovakia, and Spain. He's a former military intelligence company commander with multiple deployments and has written several popular articles for Quality.

As high-performance industries adopt additive manufacturing (AM), the demand for harmonized standards is growing. This drives organizations and regulatory bodies to develop consistent protocols, moving away from conflicting standards.

Additive manufacturing (AM) has long intrigued engineers with its design freedom and rapid prototyping. However, as it shifts to full-scale production, quality has become a critical bottleneck. Meeting the consistency, functionality, and cost expectations of conventional manufacturing is essential, making finishing as important as printing.

The National Association of Manufacturers announced the addition of Jake Kuhns as a vice president of domestic policy at the association.

The demand for skilled workers is rising, but traditional hiring and training methods are not appealing to early-career professionals. For Gen Z, job satisfaction involves more than just pay; they value growth, purpose, and access to advanced technology. In response, manufacturers and industry organizations are changing their hiring and training practices.
