An Engineeringtalk guide
Start with the news release
Mobilescan HD helps gun grip maker improve quality from
NVision, which we summarised at the time by saying "A custom gun grip manufacturer has improved the quality of its products by using the Mobilescan HD portable 3D laser scanning system from NVision to reverse engineer the original grips.".
Several months prior to that,
we featured the news release Vitronic provides volume measuring for parcels from
Vitronic: "Vitronic has supplied a range of systems for Hermes' national distribution hub in Nuneaton, Warwickshire. ".
In October 2009, we covered the news from Leuze Electronic
- take a look at Herma uses label detection sensors from Leuze
which says: "Herma, a manufacturer of self-adhesive labels and label machinery, has been using sensors from Leuze Electronic to detect, identify and protect personnel in its new warehouse and logistics centre.".
Take a look also at the news release from Dynamic Systems, Dynamic releases Checkmate barcode software,
as well as Shortlink transceiver offers wireless integration from Shortlink,
and RFID handhelds speed up offline data collection from Balluff UK.
