The medical device industry needs strict testing that meets evolving standards. Collaboration between manufacturers and standards committees ensures accurate and reliable testing solutions. Automation can standardize processes, tackle the shortage of qualified lab personnel, and enhance quality and efficiency.
Fluor Corporation announced that its Board of Directors has appointed Chief Operating Officer (COO), Jim Breuer, as Chief Executive Officer (CEO), effective May 1, 2025.
The gaging setting standard is essential for accurate measurements in high-performance manufacturing, despite often being overlooked. While digital calipers are versatile, they lack the precision of comparative gages that rely on a master-setting standard for sub-micron accuracy. Proper use of this standard can enhance performance and lower calibration costs.
As manufacturing quality demands grow, the shift to artificial intelligence (AI) presents an opportunity to streamline paper-intensive processes, reduce errors, and enhance product quality through better data integration.
Portable metrology tools can be used in a variety of environments, whether it’s a factory floor, construction site, dry dock, or large-scale assembly plant.
Discover how portable metrology tools like laser trackers and 3D scanners enhance onsite machining by enabling real-time measurements and adjustments, ensuring accuracy and minimizing defects in complex geometries.
With the 2026 version of the ISO 9001 on the horizon, organizations must ask: will more training be needed? This article explores the key processes to ensure effective management of the upcoming changes, helping teams stay prepared for the challenges ahead.
We are lucky in the metrology and gage manufacturing world to have access to standards maintained by ANSI, ASME, Mil, NIST, DIN, ISO, IEC and many more.
Understanding industry terminology is vital for success, especially for newcomers and seasoned professionals in new roles. This article explores how standards from organizations like ASME clarify key definitions in metrology and gage manufacturing, helping to prevent costly misunderstandings.
Optimism for 2025 is rising as logistics and supply chain sectors embrace digital transformation and automation to enhance resilience. Key trends shaping the industry are on the horizon.
The EU's RoHS Directive (2002/95/EC) restricts hazardous substances in electrical and electronic products to protect health and the environment, prohibiting materials like lead and cadmium.
The integration of automation and AI with metrology is transforming manufacturing by enhancing precision and efficiency. As Stefan Holt from MSI Viking notes, these technologies are redefining manufacturing processes and enabling adherence to stringent quality standards.
