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...

Because large industrial systems, structures, and components experience shifting stresses and loads throughout service life, risk of fatigue failure is high. Improving fatigue performance in heavy manufacturing is therefore an important priority. The good news is that many specialized methods for slowing crack formation and predicting fatigue failure have been developed in the past decades....
