TYPES OF METROLOGY: DIMENSIONAL, OPTICAL, AND MORE
In the realm of modern manufacturing, precision is paramount. Whether you’re a production engineer overseeing complex assemblies or a lab equipment supplier ensuring the accuracy of measurement tools, understanding the various types of metrology is essential. This comprehensive guide delves into the primary categories of metrology—dimensional, optical, and others—highlighting their principles, applications, advantages, and limitations.
Software Analyzes Fastening Data
In 1840, Jerome Increase Case started a small business in Rochester, WI, threshing his neighbors’ crops with horse-powered machines.
The Death of Tactile Quality Control
Not long ago, quality assurance in aerospace was a narrow, hands-on process. Inspectors would physically verify installations: feeling the torque on bolts, tracing defects to their origin, and leaving behind ink-smudged paperwork as evidence of accountability. It was tactile, deliberate, and sometimes slower—but it worked.
AI’s Double-Edged Sword: Security and Compliance in Manufacturing
More than half (55%) of organizations plan to adopt Generative AI for security this year, indicating a drastic increase in its use within sensitive business operations. Joining the surge in adoption is manufacturing, which is an industry adopting AI at a rapid pace. While AI undoubtedly creates an opportunity for greater efficiency, cost savings and precision, its rapid integration and orchestration exposes organizations to new security risks and regulatory challenges.
