In-Process Monitoring

Are you seeking an automated solution to assess quality, reliability, and safety in your manufacturing operation? EWI recently worked with materialsIN to develop a real-time quality assurance system for ultrasonically welded, lithium-ion battery tabs. In a new paper, A Fully Automated Quality Assurance Solution for Battery Tab Welds Using Process Monitoring and AI, EWI engineers...

EWI is currently conducting an applied R&D program to help small and medium-sized manufacturers (SMMs) use Industry 4.0 concepts and tools to improve operations. Recent work has resulted in the development of a system that can acquire, visualize, inspect, and analyze low- and high-frequency data collected from precision sensors to check the quality of machined...

Combining video with data acquisition programs can deliver a highly sophisticated tool for diagnosing potential problems and making adjustments while fabrication is in process. There are existing high-speed camera (HSC) and data acquisition (DAQ) systems that have been custom-built, but to-date these have been cumbersome to operate and commercially unsupported. EWI has developed a new,...
