All manufacturing companies must manage an ever-growing mountain of priceless inspection data. Yet measurement results, process iterations, and approval reports are scattered across hard drives and USB sticks.
Choosing the correct instrument for surface texture measurement can be confusing, given the wide range of options. Stylus-based instruments are the most prevalent in manufacturing.
When we set out to film Episode 2, we faced a fundamental challenge: How do you make people care about errors they can’t see?
(See all the episodes here.)
In Episode 1 of The Quality Digest Roadshow, we talked about metrology standards and ho
In the evenings, after patients have left for the day, our research team visits the radiation oncology offices at the University of Colorado Anschutz Medical Campus to talk to medical physicists about how our research can help cancer patients.
Systems exist that can “read” a dial indicator and capture its values.
All gauging equipment must be calibrated periodically to ensure it can perform the job for which it’s intended (i.e., measuring parts accurately).

Regular inspection is absolutely vital with industrial transmission systems. Just like the gearbox in an everyday car, components are prone to wear, misalignment, and fatigue—issues that can lead to machinery failure.
At the corner of quality and assembly, design engineers are frequently confronted with unexpected, complex fluid process issues in the prototyping phase.
The artificial intelligence-driven system incrementally creates and aligns smaller submaps of the scene that it stitches together to reconstruct a full 3D map (like this office cubicle) while estimating the robot’s position in real time.
A robot searching for workers trapped in a partially collapsed mine shaft must rapidly generate a map of the scene and identify its location within that scene as it navigates the treacherous terrain.
