The rapid pace of product innovation, evolving manufacturing methods, and skilled labor shortages are putting increasing pressure on traditional Quality Assurance/Quality Control (QA/QC) approaches. At EWI, advanced QA/QC has been an ongoing focus, leveraging our expertise in manufacturing processes, sensor integration, and data science to develop real-time, automated solutions that can: Enable 100% inspection  Provide...

The Future of QA/QC in Advanced Manufacturing Speed, smarter sensors, and the human-in-the-loop advantage As reshoring, reinvestment, and rapid innovation reshape North American manufacturing, one area is emerging as a cornerstone of competitiveness: quality assurance and quality control (QA/QC). Manufacturers are facing unprecedented pressure to get products to market faster, operate efficiently, and ensure uncompromising...

Integrated computational materials engineering (ICME) can be used effectively to understand thermal excursions and mechanical response in single-shot joining methods such as resistance-spot, flash-butt, friction, hot-gas, and thermite welding. As part of EWI’s ongoing series of papers examining the uses of ICME as a prediction tool in manufacturing, Senior Technology Leader Jerry Gould has written...
