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.

Hardness testing is essential in material sciences, particularly through hardness mapping, which generates detailed heat maps from thousands of indentations. Enhanced by AI-based evaluation, this method improves accuracy and is widely used in industries like automotive and aerospace. The article discusses the methods and future of AI-driven hardness testing.

All the robots in the world won’t help your assembly process if your parts are not in the right place or the right orientation for pick up. Vision systems can help. Here’s a look at four of the latest technologies.

Quality Infrastructure (QI) is vital for ensuring quality and safety through metrology, standardization, and accreditation. However, concerns arise about whether the QI has kept pace with these changes.

In a recent article for Quality called, How Generative AI Could Revolutionize Manufacturing Quality Functions, Graney said, “AI - ranging from generative, predictive, and “simple” machine learning - is poised to address the manufacturing challenges by automating data analysis, integrating multiple data sources, and providing real-time insights.

A new type of database can facilitate cost-saving activities, such as predictive maintenance.

Amid the AI hype, we should ask if we're using it to achieve specific goals or just for the sake of it. The value of AI lies in its real-world application, not just as a buzzword. It's important to stay focused on our objectives and the challenges we aim to solve.
