More and more, manufacturers are expanding their supply chain to reach new markets and reduce operational costs. However, this can leave manufacturers exposed to a higher risk of product quality issues and operational inefficiencies.
Unlike traditional machine vision, imaging colorimeters are engineered to replicate human visual perception of light, enabling highly-accurate evaluations of brightness and color, contrasts, and defects in displays.
A high-performance measuring machine is the prerequisite for fast and efficient measuring. Yet many operators are not achieving maximum efficiency with their coordinate measuring machine.
Most improvement projects have a goal—like reducing defects. Teams often want to jump in and start gathering data so they can solve the problems. Checking measurement systems first may seem like a waste of time, but a Gage R&R study is a critical step in any analysis involving continuous data.
CMMs are the most accurate metrology equipment available for quality inspection. However, due to their widespread use in a manufacturing environment, they can nevertheless become bottlenecks and not be available for inspections.
FDA regulated companies must establish quality systems for compliance. Most quality management systems (QMS) were developed to help comply with regulations with a sole focus on automating the paper-based processes around quality.
In today's social media world, news of a negative product review on the web can be spread around the globe before your damage-control team gets their boots on; because of this, manufacturers are focused now more than ever on preventing quality issues from shipping to market.
A well-run Quality Management Systems (QMS) brings the entire company together to solve problems, standardize processes and meet the demands of customers and regulatory agencies.
