Application Note | Fuel Injector Insertion Verification Using Force Monitoring
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.

Application Note: The True Cost of Medical Packaging
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.
