Critical to this goal was the ability to make rapid but precise measurements during in-process inspection operations--an activity for which the Fowler/Trimos V-600 electronic height gage was specifically designed.

 

Software Integrates Quality Systems at Laboratory
Lilly Software Associates VISUAL Quality

Although it already had a manual quality system in place, over time it became apparent that Harco Laboratories of Bradford, Connecticut, would benefit greatly if its quality systems were integrated into a single companywide system accessible to all workers. After reviewing a number of software packages, the company (which designs, manufactures and sells a wide range of sensors and interconnects for the aerospace and industrial markets) opted to implement Lilly Software Associates' VISUAL Quality v.5.35 integrated quality system to achieve this aim.
