Earlier detection through CT scanning prevents downstream rework, reduces material waste, and protects production capacity while also enabling traceability.
Ask any aerospace manufacturer about their biggest challenge, and one word comes up again and again: speed. For quality, this is in constant tension between maintaining uncompromising precision and meeting production demands.
Nikon Corporation (Nikon) has launched the ECLIPSE LV100AMS, a new one click automated microscope designed to simplify industrial inspection and quality control.
Automotive manufacturers have long relied on end-of-line testing to catch defects before vehicles leave the plant. Increasingly, that approach is giving way to something more proactive.
There is a persistent gap between what computer simulation predicts and what the production floor delivers. Research now shows exactly how to close it.
Every vehicle begins as a simulation. Before a single tool is built or a single part is pressed, engineers model how materials will behave, how components will form, and how structures will perform under load.
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.
