Edge computing has become a game-changer in the rapidly changing field of technology, bringing new ideas to well-worn problems. Although it’s often spoken about in terms of improving network performance and facilitating real-time data processing, quality assurance (QA) stands to benefit just as much from it.

There are two ways to look at quality. For the vehicle’s owner, it is about the perception of quality and durability. Does the product quality and overall experience meet my expectations as a customer? However, for manufacturers, it is equally about process quality. How do the processes followed, not only drive efficiency and effectiveness but also deliver that high-quality product that contributes to the customer perception?

The accuracy of measurements directly impacts the quality and performance of manufactured components, making metrology a cornerstone of manufacturing industry. Over the years, advancements in sensor technology have significantly transformed the landscape of metrology, enabling higher precision, speed, and flexibility in measurement processes.

In today’s advanced manufacturing landscape, quality management has evolved into a cornerstone of industrial success. Imagine an employee effortlessly accessing real-time quality data from production line sensors with just a few swipes on a handheld device.

Three aspects of sensor technology are particularly important in image processing for industrial automation: performance, flexibility and usability. Simple Vision sensors meet these requirements. They are as easy to operate as optical sensors, plus they are as powerful as camera systems. The Sensor People from Leuze offer this concept as a quick and straightforward introduction to vision technology.

Deciding whether to replace a Coordinate Measuring Machine (CMM) with a robotic measurement system can be challenging. To make an informed choice, it’s essential to understand the unique strengths and limitations of each technology. Let’s explore this in more detail, with examples to help you visualize the differences.

The landscape of quality control is undergoing significant changes driven by advancements in automation, Industry 4.0, AI, and other emerging technologies. These innovations are essential for maintaining product quality and efficiency in the face of rising regulatory standards and customer expectations.

There are many factors which contribute to the successful manufacture of vacuum windows. The understanding and use of cutting-edge technology, quality control via state-of-the-art metrology tools, and understanding of material properties are all critical to their design and manufacture.
