Fuel rail defects for a leading automotive manufacturer were traced to the improper insertion of fuel injectors into the fuel rail. The recurring defects were not found until late in assembly and represented a potential warranty issue as the injectors and fuel rails would experience premature wear due to the improper insertion. This risk along with high teardown and repair costs led the manufacturer to look for an efficient, reliable and effective way to monitor the simultaneous insertion of the three fuel rail injectors into the fuel rail. Read the Application Note to learn how Sciemetric fixed the problem.

In medical device packaging it is extremely important to have a reliable sterile sealing process, however in many cases it is the last piece of the puzzle before going to market with a product. When a proper seal packaging process is not practiced, it quite often leads to returns and having to re-package the product or dispose of it all together while additional unnecessary costs are incurred.

An automation integrator working with a manufacturer of automotive wheel hubs was looking for the best leak tester for a new production line. The test was needed to find any parts with out of spec dimensions that would cause leaks around the inner channel of the wheel hub. A cycle time of 12 seconds for the test and demonstration of the leak tester's repeatability were key requirements in their search. Read the Application Note to learn more.

Downstream issues on the production line with leaks, non-secure parts and components, or unwanted noise and vibration can often be traced back to a flawed fluid dispense operation. The Sciemetric solution, using digital process signature analysis, allows manufacturers to identify faulty dispense operations as they occur and take corrective action. The result is reduced downtime, scrap, rework costs, warranty claims, and improved production efficiency and product quality.

End-of-line testing is costly and unreliable. What’s more, it doesn’t generate sufficient data to support advanced analytics. For one leading automotive OEM, a reliance on EoL meant that they weren’t fully realizing the data-driven potential of a connected Industry 4.0 environment. When this customer decided to take a harder look at standardizing quality across its international brands, it intensified testing beyond EoL and, in the process, unleashed a torrent of data that, once properly managed, made improvements they could only have hoped for.
