Offshore ‘Predator’ has eyes on other industries
Offshore ‘Predator’ has eyes on other industries Ever seen a robot on a seagoing vessel? Robots are made of steel which is in essence not best friends with salt and water. Harsh conditions are one of the few certainties at sea. Therefore, most manufacturers of robots take a restraint approach to creating automated solutions for […]
Trick or treat? Unplanned downtime:
a real-life horror story
It is normal for kids to love a scary Halloween. They want to explore the boundaries of their own fears: a way to learn about them. We also like to push our process and equipment for the best results and learn from it. In Operations the focus is often on capacity(output). The adrenaline rushes through […]
The evolution of quality: goodbye to ‘50 shades of grey’
‘Measuring is knowing’ and that is only positive. As management you can steer on data, you can increase your OEE on the production floor and even win a grand prix with it. Also in the field of quality more and more things are measured and made visible in figures and graphs. Smoothing out rough edges […]
