Quality is crucial in the automotive and aerospace industries, underpinning customer satisfaction, efficiency, and safety. Upholding high standards reduces defects and waste, while evolving mobility standards are essential for adapting to technology and competition.
Thickness gages have evolved over 40 years from analog to advanced digital systems. Ultrasonic gages use a transducer to convert electrical energy into vibrations, measuring the time taken for these vibrations to calculate material thickness.
InnovMetric announced the launch of PolyWorks 2025. This new major release of the PolyWorks enterprise solution delivers a digital thread framework that defines, streamlines, and supports the flow of dimensional inspection information enterprisewide.
With a bustling expo floor, robust conference programming, and a palpable spirit of collaboration, the events attracted engineers, plant managers, operations executives, and product developers from a wide range of industries.
Nondestructive Testing (NDT) professionals are essential for ensuring the safety of infrastructure, flight operations, and energy facilities. However, a significant workforce shortage threatens this crucial role, with an aging workforce and fewer new entrants. Addressing this talent gap is vital to maintaining the high standards of safety and reliability in our industry.
Meet our 2025 Quality Rookie of the Year, Attrayee Chakraborty. She is a quality professional in the medical field with a background in biotechnology and expertise in Artificial Intelligence (AI).
As manufacturers increasingly use robots, 3-D printing, AI systems and other cutting-edge technologies, they create new risks that are not covered by existing rules. As a result, even the most foundational rulebooks are changing.
Engineers rely on industry standards for safety, which require extensive development time. However, the rapid pace of emerging technologies poses challenges for timely standardization, as reaching consensus on new standards becomes difficult in a fast-changing environment, according to Shawn Moylan from NIST.
Calibration lab quotes are often based on ideal conditions, but the true costs of calibration testing can remain hidden from metrics. When these costs appear, managers may blame the lab. By using risk control tools and investing in quality equipment, labs can reduce these hidden expenses.
On Demand This event is part of our Live Streaming program where we give attendees who cannot make it to The Quality Show the opportunity to view presentations and download valuable content. In this session, you will learn how integrating metrology data into a "single source of truth" improves quality management, collaboration, and agility in manufacturing amid unpredictable supply chains.
