Are you looking for quality, accuracy, and timeliness in your measurement collection? Our GageWay Pro interfaces connect multiple gages and serial devices to a single computer port using physical connecting cables. They can transfer gage data into any Windows program or SPC/data acquisition software and are an excellent option for situations where gage mobility is not a requirement.
While automation may be replacing jobs, it is also creating new jobs. However, new skills are needed for today's manufacturing workers. Saar Yoskovitz, CEO of Augury, explains.
Job losses caused by the pandemic continue to affect millions, especially for those employed in retail and hospitality, two sectors essentially shut down during the Covid-19 crisis. One solution for getting people back into the work force is apprenticeship programs. Funding new apprenticeships provides jobs, generates long-term gains in skills, productivity, and earnings.

You might think that buyers' and sellers' expectations for an ecommerce platform would be the same regardless of whether it was for B2B or B2C. But that isn’t true. What a business needs from an ecommerce platform is not always the same as what a consumer needs.
To deliver the best B2B ecommerce experience for business clients, a platform must be designed with business in mind. We speak with Yoav Kutner, co-founder of Oro Inc.
We talk with tookmaker and metrologist Nobby Assman, one of the winners of Zeiss's 2020 Measuring Hero Championship in the category Outstanding Application—Smallest Measured Component. How do you measure something really small? Really carefully.
