Reverse engineering as a term is adopted by many industry subsets. From genetics, computer code, complex PCBs (printed circuit boards), and even military espionage. In this article, we are specifically relating to a metrology-driven process steered by high-precision 3D data acquisition tools.
It is crucial to hit the right color tone in the production process and to produce it homogeneously across numerous batches. Color not only leaves an impression of quality, but can also be used as an indirect variable to control the process.
Two adjacent hospitals merged and grew patient volume by 40% on their Medical/Surgical and Cardiac units. To manage the increase, the project team at LVHN investigated opportunities to improve patient flow and staff satisfaction.

How LVHN used Lean Six Sigma tools and Minitab statistical analysis to achieve improvements in patient-centered care.
Measurement devices must be calibrated regularly to ensure they perform their jobs properly. While calibration covers a wide range of applications and scenarios, the goal is simple: ensure your device is measuring to your standards.
Ensuring stringent medical part quality is challenging, but with the right vision system, manufacturers can utilize powerful technology to help determine that the challenges are being met.
Due to its ability to nondestructively capture, display and analyze the internal structures of objects in high resolution and three-dimensionally, industrial computed tomography is gaining importance as a precise 3D measuring technology for production in addition to the classic application fields of research and development and failure analysis.
The single most important thing manufacturing leaders can do to engage their employees is to share the ‘why’ behind their daily work, says Kathleen Skarvan, CEO at New Prague, MN-based Electromed—Quality’s 2021 Plant of the Year.
Force measurement is the measure of a push (compression) or pull (tension) against an object. It sounds elementary enough, but it’s a crucial part of quality control testing with more and more applications in today’s globalized supply chain. The needs for force measurement are all around us.
