Flow Chemistry continues to gain momentum as a powerful alternative to batch processing, offering improved safety, easier ...

Turning 3-dimensional product models into manufacturing process designs is no easy task. Kevin Marseilles, senior process designer with Delphi Corp.’s Saginaw Steering Systems Division, used to spend ...

The Department of Engineering Design and Manufacturing is involved in a variety of research and training activities. The following is an overview of the areas that research teams work in, with some ...

Although continuous flow chemistry—wherein molecules are made in a continuous process rather than in batches—has gained ground in academic labs, its adoption by industry and contract manufacturing ...

Most facilities that fail in lean implementations have weak quality systems. More specifically, they have failed to create stable process flow. If you have some or even one of these issues, you will ...

Commoditization has led to a complete ecosystem for MEMs, lowering the barrier for entry and opening up new manufacturing and integration options. I recently gave an invited talk at the IEEE Inertial ...

Once upon a time, integrated circuits (ICs) were built by the same companies that designed them. The design of an IC was tightly integrated with the manufacturing processes available within each ...

Flow manufacturing is a production method used by makers of assembly-line products, such as auto manufacturers. It dates from the 1980s and is based on the principles of the Toyota production system, ...

The steps of a complex process can be displayed in sequence using a graphic referred to as a process flowchart. The graphic explains the way a process is or should be functioning, depending on the ...

The global microreactors (flow reactors) market size was valued at US$ 0.8 Bn in 2024 and is projected to reach US$ 2.3 Bn by ...
