In-Process Gaging is Cost Effective
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.
Embrace Process Signature Technology
Process signature technology is an innovative tool for quality improvement, helping manufacturers eliminate defects, manage recalls, improve processes, and other benefits.
Analyse This
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.
Fastening, Pressing and Industry 4.0
Engineers can do more with force and torque data than simply make “good” or “not good” decisions about assemblies. Sciemetric's CTO, Richard Brine, is featured in this article in Assembly Magazine discussing the applications of fastening and press for Industry 4.0.
Better Tools for Data Analysis Measurement/Visualization are Improving Yield and Reducing Warranty Claims
Sciemetric CEO Nathan Sheaff talks to the editors of OEM Off-Highway Magazine about how “Industry 4.0” is really about breaking down data silos and making effective use of production data to increase yield, improve quality and optimize processes.
Quality: Starting with Effective Data Management
Richard Brine, Sciemetric’s CTO, discusses with Industrial Machinery Digest how manufacturers must evolve beyond scalar data collection and analysis alone to rise to the big data challenge posed by Industry 4.0. He outlines the need for centralized collection and analysis of the digital process signatures, or waveforms, generated by every cycle of the process and test stations on the line.
Data holds the key to refining processes
In the pages of Industrial Technology Magazine, Sciemetric CEO Nathan Sheaff highlights five things manufacturers can easily do with their process data right now to take the guesswork out of limit setting, optimize test cycle times, trace the root cause of defects, predict maintenance requirements, and launch machines and lines faster.
Signature Analysis Beyond Press Force
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.
How to stay competitive in a connected revolution
In this feature published by Machine Design Magazine, Derek Kuhn, Sciemetric’s senior vice-president, argues why machine builders can’t ignore the growing use of process data by manufacturers to drive quality assurance, greater automation, efficiency and profitability. Manufacturers want this intelligence incorporated into a line as it is being built, rather than incur the time and expense of procuring equipment, hardware, and software from different vendors and trying to integrate it all together.
Waveform versus scalar data
Sciemetric product launch manager Robert Ouellette shares with Manufacturing Automation Magazine how digital process signature analysis takes take quality control on the production line to a new level. While SPC and scalar data continue to serve a useful role to monitor and track the health of a production line, it is signature analysis that offers the most effective means to quickly find and address root cause when problems arise.
