Former Sciemetric product marketing manager Bruce Takasaki shares with Quality Magazine where and how torque testing is most effective as a quality assurance process on a production line and what types of test are best depending on the part or assembly in question.

Through the adoption of new leak testing approaches that provide comprehensive data about the entire leak test cycle, manufacturers can get more out of their leak test. Use of process signature technology that provides comprehensive data about the leak test offers manufacturers significant benefits that impact the bottom line. Investment in modern leak test technology delivers a quick ROI, supports compliance initiatives, improves productivity and ultimately, improves product quality.

Process signature verification helps medical device manufacturers eliminate destructive testing, bring more accuracy to the manufacturing process, and reduce costs. Rather than subjective post manufacturing quality control approaches, such as visual testing, or statistically based tests, like destructive testing practices or auditing, comprehensive process signature verification provides actionable insight into manufacturing processes as well as a wealth of data that can prove compliance with internal directives and FDA regulations.

Process signature technology is an innovative tool for quality improvement, helping manufacturers eliminate defects, manage recalls, improve processes, and other benefits.

Sciemetric CEO Nathan Sheaff discusses with the editors of Manufacturing Engineering magazine the company’s early successes with Ford Motor Co. in using digital process signature analysis to monitor quality on an engine as it was being built versus waiting for the end-of-line hot test.

Sciemetric CEO Nathan Sheaff discusses with Assembly Magazine how sensor technology has had to evolve to ensure accurate digital process signature analysis for production processes such as leak testing, crimping, and sound and vibration testing.

Process signature analysis technology helps medical device manufacturers prevent defective devices and ensure compliance by enabling in-line analysis of critical processes across the enterprise.
